Forecasts

Bhutan (11/8), Reve (10/3), Gray Day (4/1), Too Many Chiefs (6/1), Little Millie (22/1), Katy Royal (22/1), The Very Thing (25/1), Quinlandio (40/1)

If Bhutan can see out this trip he is entitled to go close again, while stamina is no concern with Katy Royal, who could come back strongly after 10-months off. Reve is an interesting runner who could get heavily involved, but this can go to TOO MANY CHIEFS for a second successive season.
