Forecasts

Commanding (5/2), Sun Dazed (3/1), Azzurri (4/1), Mont Loisir (11/2), African Prince (10/1), Fort Red (10/1), Prince Of Tibet (14/1), Boundless Love (16/1), Escarpment (18/1), Shifting Path (18/1)

SUN DAZED looks marginally the pick of this bunch. Mont Loisir has the strongest claims of the remainder, while Prince Of Tibet is in the running for a share of the minor money.
