Forecasts

Ahead Of The Facts (15/8), Shoot The Rapids (11/4), Curious Girl (4/1), Holding Thumbs (9/2), Master Redoute (8/1), Vihaan's Bomb (12/1), Titans Of War (18/1), Douglas Dragon (22/1), Chill In The Air (25/1), Poets Warrior (28/1), Taxhaven (28/1), The Mikado (40/1), Son Of Raj (40/1)

SHOOT THE RAPIDS can come out on top. Ahead Of The Facts is a threat, while Master Redoute could have a say as well.
