Forecasts

Teerex (13/8), Ravilious (2/1), Prince Florian (9/2), Diamond Jim (9/2), King's Sailor (5/1), Wissa's On Fire (11/2), William The First (8/1), Future Saint (14/1), Always Shining (20/1), Burning Man (20/1), Russian Empire (33/1)

TEEREX appeals as the most obvious option. Ravilious is taken to chase the selection home, while King's Sailor can't be ruled out of things either.
