Forecasts

Endless Victory (5/2), French Duke (4/1), Aeronautic (4/1), Asgard's Captain (4/1), Green Triangle (4/1), Green Cape (9/1), Claymore (12/1), Will Scarlet (14/1), Al Mukhtar (25/1), Ruling Dynasty (28/1), Rock Of Cashel (50/1), Finely Tuned (80/1), Alhzeem (80/1)

AERONAUTIC will be suited by the step back in trip and is the selection. Endless Victory could be the danger from Will Scarlet.
