Forecasts

Roll Of The Dice (11/4), Richardthefearless (3/1), Heemstede (7/2), One Religion (4/1), Red William (15/2), Global State (9/1), Three Cheers (10/1), George Handel (18/1), Downing Seven (28/1), Alado's Pride (33/1)

THREE CHEERS is narrowly favoured. One Religion is fancied to chase the selection home, while Roll Of The Dice is one to bear in mind too.
