Forecasts

Irish Rain (9/4), Light Warrior (4/1), Light Without (5/1), Nussply (13/2), Prince Alf (7/1), Star Effect (8/1), Understated (8/1), Enrico Cecchetti (16/1), Infinite Wonder (20/1), Captain Cupid (33/1), Sitting Bull (40/1), Ramoan (40/1), Reggae Rocks (40/1), Tender Force (66/1), Westminster (66/1)

LIGHT WITHOUT's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and he is much the one to aim at. Nussply is the percentage call to finish second, while Star Effect also seems unlikely to be far away.
