Forecasts

Sharps Choice (11/8), King's War (5/2), Get Smart (6/1), Play The Part (13/2), Mother's Best (20/1), Belclare Boy (28/1), Ok Splendid (33/1), High Frontier (66/1), Catch My Drift (66/1), Cottonvale (66/1), Indian Nut (66/1)

This may boil down to a scrap between KING'S WAR and Play The Part, with the former just edging preference as the one with the most convincing profile for the time being. Sharps Choice is an obvious one to watch in the betting, while Get Smart is another from the Mullins clan that is capable of getting involved in the thick of the action and is respected accordingly.
