Forecasts

Powerandtheglory (4/1), Great Plains (5/1), Raven Black (11/2), O'tenikwa (11/2), Snow Pilot (15/2), Scottish Kiss (8/1), Tenango (8/1), Gallic Dream (17/2), Royal Aussie (12/1), Dumbledore (20/1), Gem King (25/1), Promettere (40/1), Billy Bowlegs (50/1), King Regent (80/1)

SCOTTISH KISS looks marginally the pick of these but has next to no margin for error. Gem King is most likely the principal challenger, while Gallic Dream could well have a say as well.
