Forecasts

Port Of London (2/1), Aajej (11/4), Codiak (10/3), Race To The Stars (4/1), Frank Stamper (7/1), Ethelwulf (16/1), Prince Quattro (50/1), Geordie Mackem (80/1), Spooky Wooky (125/1), Jet Approach (200/1), Secret Alliance (250/1), Angelardo (250/1), Jester Queen (300/1), Burlington Place (300/1)

The market should reveal plenty but the vote goes to Charlie Appleby's newcomer RACE TO THE STARS who is bred to be well above average. Both Aajej and Codiak have the form to play a part and must enter calculations along with Ethelwulf and Frank Stamper.
