Forecasts

Beale Street (10/3), Brazilian Rose (7/2), Monks Dream (4/1), Dark Kestrel (11/2), Ormolulu (11/2), Cargin Bhui (6/1), Sibyl Charm (8/1), Novak (17/2), Biplane (10/1), Strong Power (14/1), Parisiac (16/1), Neapolitan (66/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but C&D winner BEALE STREET rates the pick of the weights so edges the vote. Course-scorer Dark Kestral heads the list of dangers, with Novak, Biplane, Ormolulu and Brazilian Rose all in the picture too.
