Forecasts

Gallic Victor (7/2), Brave Waam (9/2), American Beauty (6/1), Dante's Bond (7/1), Winding Power (8/1), Jaffa (10/1), Xenophon (12/1), Yamadori (12/1), After Hours (16/1), Never Never Land (16/1), Ringa Ringa Roses (20/1), Wayne (20/1)

GALLIC VICTOR couldn't win when favourite last time out, but is worth siding with again. Xenophon looks to have the best prospects of the others, while American Beauty has place claims as well.
