Forecasts

Double Olympic (4/1), Prevalence (9/2), Faire Advantage (11/2), Rule Of Thumb (6/1), No Apologies (8/1), Spirit's Unite (12/1), Lunch Money (12/1), Michael Faraday (14/1), Bardolino (16/1), Shavout (16/1), Ignatius (18/1), Que Shiraz (18/1), Incredibill (20/1), Summer Night City (25/1), Rubertus (33/1)

SPIRIT'S UNITE took a large step back in the right direction again last time and is well up to winning this. Lunch Money could be the main threat, while Incredibill could also get a look-in.
