Forecasts

King's Crusade (5/2), Flashy Apache (7/2), Supreme Dance (5/1), Youcanthurrylove (11/2), Stormy Winter (13/2), The Kop (9/1), Motown Magic (9/1), Kaptein (16/1), Prince Evlanoff (18/1)

FLASHY APACHE should be thereabouts but it's an open race.. King's Crusade is the most prudent second choice, while Prince Evlanoff is not out of it where the places are concerned.
