Forecasts

Prince Of Fire (2/1), William Robertson (4/1), Outofthedarkness (9/2), Super Excited (13/2), Pyromaniac (13/2), Perfect Witness (15/2), Noble Striker (25/1), Slings And Arrows (33/1)

PRINCE OF FIRE looks marginally the best in this field. Perfect Witness seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while William Robertson is perhaps the most interesting other runner.
