Forecasts

King Pelles (13/8), Isivivane (4/1), Go Grayson Go (9/2), Down By The River (9/2), Trois Trois Quatre (8/1), Amor Fati (12/1), Cape Eagle (14/1), Gimmefabulous (25/1)

Verdict

AMOR FATI has slender claims so gets the tentative vote in what is a useful contest. Isivivane is the percentage call to finish second , while Cape Eagle can't be ruled out.

  1. Amor Fati12/1
  2. Isivivane4/1
  3. Cape Eagle14/1
