Forecasts

Sea Virescent (2/1), Crown Guardian (9/4), Dual At Dawn (11/2), Written In Stone (7/1), Tillieangus (8/1), Enjoy The View (14/1), Pino Silvestre (16/1), Portico (20/1), Singfonico (20/1), Silver Spectrum (33/1), Tokyo Drift (40/1), Dan The Lad (66/1)

TILLIEANGUS looks marginally the best in this field but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Written In Stone seems the principal challenger, while Crown Guardian is perhaps the most interesting of those left.
