Forecasts

Golden Operator (2/1), King Harald (5/2), Wild Intent (11/4), Echo Check (5/1), Storm Brasco (10/1), Cocomelon (16/1)

Verdict

WILD INTENT is well in front of these from a form perspective and will prove hard to beat. Cocomelon is fancied as the best bet for second, while Golden Operator could also figure.
