Forecasts

Meridius (11/4), Indlamu (3/1), Johnny Dogs (4/1), Supreme Quest (4/1), Bey Suyay (15/2), Barneys Pride (8/1), Nordic Rebel (18/1), Sir Michael (22/1)

NORDIC REBEL is probably the safest recommendation but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Johnny Dogs has the best credentials of the rest, while Meridius also requires consideration.
