Forecasts

Cuban Heels (2/1), Victory Gold (5/2), Jaijai (13/2), Romanza (8/1), Night In Vegas (10/1), Alfred Wallace (14/1), Thunder Home (16/1), Keep Kicking On (20/1), King of Montenegro (28/1), Trust Yourself (50/1)

This novice usually produces some good ones and the newcomers will come to the fore, with VICTORY GOLD perhaps the most interesting given Godolphin's fine record in the race. Cuban Heels and Jaijai are a couple of the other more appealing sorts before the all-important betting clues.
