Forecasts

Atticus Finch (11/4), Fire Attack (3/1), Field Marshal (4/1), The Ultimate King (9/2), Choisaanada (5/1), Bakwena (8/1), Copper Eagle (25/1)

Verdict

CHOISAANADA arrives firmly at the top of his game and is expected to make a bold bid to complete a quick-fire hat-trick. Field Marshal rates second best, while Atticus Finch is another with place prospects.
