Forecasts

Gimmeachoice (11/4), Repetition (11/4), The Playboy Bomber (3/1), Jordan (9/2), Storm Ahead (17/2), American Rebel (14/1), Diesel's Shadow (18/1), Arumugam (28/1), Santiago's Pride (33/1), Eiger Sanction (33/1), Oklahoma Twister (33/1)

Verdict

ARUMUGAM's overall form just gives him the edge but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Storm Ahead looks the best bet for second, while Jordan shouldn't be far away.

  1. Arumugam28/1
  2. Storm Ahead17/2
  3. Jordan9/2
