Forecasts

Billie Frechette (5/4), Empress Alma (11/2), Sign From Above (6/1), Open To Question (13/2), Sir Callisto (11/1), Grappa Nonino (14/1), Party Dress (16/1), Alba Chiara (18/1), Jerandme (18/1), Highwind (22/1), Grann's Boy (25/1), The Truant (33/1), Last Ammo (33/1), Sundance Sioux (33/1), Bruant (50/1), Capital Theory (80/1)

The vote goes to SIR CALLISTO, who did well under the circumstances when fourth at the Curragh and he promises to be suited by this stamina test. Billie Frechette is at the top of his game and is also high on the shortlist, while Grappa Nonino and The Truant also enter calculations. Top-weight Jerandme is worth a second look, too.
