Forecasts

Heal And Soul (7/4), Master Of Paris (4/1), Baton Rouge (11/2), King's Quest (8/1), Elegant Noble (17/2), Ariovistus (9/1), Ahead Of The Facts (14/1), Kwite A King (14/1), Gentleman Joe (16/1), Noble Hero (16/1), Gold Dust (16/1), Dive Bomber (25/1), Twilight Warrior (28/1), Double Dash (33/1), Kebonalesedi (66/1), Tothemoonandback (66/1)

KING'S QUEST looks marginally the best in this open race. Baton Rouge may be the one for second, while Dive Bomber commands respect as well.
