Forecasts

First Company (1/6), Cometh The Man (11/2), The Quiet Rebel (16/1)

This is something of a formality for FIRST COMPANY whose form is significantly better than that of his two rivals. Cometh The Man is the obvious alternative, but he's dependant on the selection drastically underperforming.
