Forecasts

Giambattista (15/8), Rafiki (4/1), One Irish Rover (9/2), Brass Bell (6/1), Crested Eagle (6/1), Knight Warrior (15/2), Count Marsh (14/1), Bally Magic (28/1), Mccartney (28/1), Levitator (40/1), Mount Meru (50/1)

CRESTED EAGLE could bounce back and gets the vote. Levitator looks to have most to offer of the rest, while Rafiki is another with place prospects too.
