Forecasts

Palace Attack (13/8), Bellerophon (5/2), Frere Jacques (5/2), King Of Silk (8/1), Trip To States (17/2), Amandla Ngawethu (9/1), Mystic Vision (10/1), River Kitten (50/1), Beach Walker (66/1), Talkoftheheights (100/1), Civil War (100/1), King Bluetooth (125/1)

PALACE ATTACK has good claims. Frere Jacques looks the best bet for the runner-up spot, while Mystic Vision can scrap it out for third.
