Forecasts

I'm Spartacus (5/2), Mehman (4/1), Sovereign Banter (9/2), Sporting Hero (13/2), Inishmot Prince (7/1), Plushy (15/2), Never Shout Never (15/2), Salacious (8/1), Masked Angel (14/1), Billboa (14/1), Jered Maddox (18/1), Turners Cross (28/1), Vibrato (33/1), Rift Valley (66/1), Realistic Dream (66/1)

Preference is for SOVEREIGN BANTER, who has been running consistently well and may have raced closer to the pace than ideal when third here earlier this month. I'm Spartacus and Plushy head the list of dangers.
