Forecasts

Fight Song (11/8), Decorated (3/1), Magical Midlands (9/2), Run To Denmark (11/2), Spring Fling (7/1), Shavout (7/1), Galway (18/1), Quick Star (20/1)

DECORATED is arguably the one they have to beat. Fight Song is the percentage call to finish runner-up, while Run To Denmark comes into calculations for minor honours.
