Forecasts

See It Again (4/9), Bless My Stars (8/1), Royal Aussie (17/2), Rascallion (12/1), Pacaya (12/1), Mucho Dinero (14/1), Anfields Rocket (20/1), Sugar Mountain (22/1), Double Superlative (25/1), Montien (28/1), Al Muthana (28/1), Without Question (50/1), Waterberry Lane (50/1)

BLESS MY STARS looks marginally the pick of this bunch but will need to steer clear of any trouble. See It Again could emerge as the main threat, while Pacaya is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
