Forecasts

Rule Book (6/4), Broadway (11/4), Viceroy (9/2), Apache Gold (5/1), Royal Tiger (11/1), Royal Siege (12/1), Harold The Duke (22/1), Fort Alado (40/1)

BROADWAY looks to have more or less the best credentials but needs to bounce back to his best. Rule Book is marginally preferred for second, while Viceroy also merits respect.
