Forecasts

Firmament (7/2), Repton (9/2), Swift Approval (5/1), Juanito Chico (6/1), Absolutely So (7/1), Exchequer (9/1), Rousayan (9/1), Sir Titan (10/1), Another Boy (14/1), Barrington (25/1), Mister Music (33/1)

FIRMAMENT has proven a hard horse to win with but there haven't been many opportunities like this for a while and like Absolutely So is down in grade, however is in better form. Rousayan was luckless last time and should be more competitive while Another Boy can be involved in conditions that are ideal.
