Forecasts

Aladdin's Lamp (2/1), Olivia's Way (2/1), Dance King (4/1), Busstopinhounslow (11/2), Navajo Nation (10/1), Musical Score (10/1), Son Of Raj (33/1), Nebraas (40/1), Mister Speaker (66/1)

Verdict

ALADDIN'S LAMP is running well enough to take this but hasn't much room for error in what is a good-quality contest. Olivia's Way is the most likely threat, while Son of Raj also requires scrutiny.

  1. Aladdin's Lamp2/1
  2. Olivia's Way2/1
  3. Son Of Raj33/1
