Forecasts

King Rahul (4/1), Russian Empire (4/1), King's Sailor (5/1), King Viserys (5/1), Cruzador (6/1), Cherry Oh Baby (7/1), Captain Clever (8/1), Maneki Neko (10/1), Potent Captain (10/1), Hospices De Beaune (14/1), Duchess Of Seville (33/1), Bright Future (40/1), Brooksider (66/1), Arabian Blue (66/1)

KING'S SAILOR just about gets the nod in this company. Potent Captain is fancied as the best alternative, while Maneki Neko also demands a closer look.
