Forecasts

The Equator (3/1), King Pelles (7/2), Madison Valley (5/1), Atticus Finch (13/2), The Ultimate King (8/1), Otto Luyken (14/1), My Best Shot (22/1), Royal Victory (28/1), Spumante Dolce (33/1), On My Honour (33/1), Mocha Blend (40/1), Olivia's Way (40/1), Busstopinhounslow (40/1), Legend Of Arthur (40/1), Son Of Raj (40/1), Parisian Walkway (40/1), Wild Intent (80/1), Anfields Rocket (80/1), Navajo Nation (80/1), Solar Sail (100/1)

SON OF RAJ could be worth chancing at big odds. Spumante Dolce can also play a leading part, while Madison Valley could also figure.
