Forecasts

Banha Bridge (11/4), Battleground (3/1), King Of Rome (5/1), Flying First Class (7/1), Earl (7/1), White Fang (7/1), Afraad (9/1), Out Of Your League (14/1), Great Affair (18/1), So Long Spring (40/1)

EARL earns the narrow vote. Flying First Class seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while King Of Rome also needs a closer look.
