Forecasts

Tread Swiftly (2/1), Sniper Shot (7/2), Socrates (5/1), Guru's Pride (6/1), Williams Land (15/2), Desolate Road (10/1), Celebration Rock (14/1), Georgina Rose (14/1), Generous Lady (14/1)

TREAD SWIFTLY's recent form just about edges this but he can't afford for much to go wrong. Guru's Pride is probably the main threat, while Williams Land enters calculations for third place.
