Forecasts

Heemstede (3/1), Few Dollars More (7/2), Home Reef (4/1), Roll Of The Dice (4/1), George Handel (6/1), Lotus Island (8/1), Master Forester (18/1), Waz Wouter (20/1), Vihaan's Queen (20/1), Downing Seven (33/1)

ROLL OF THE DICE looks to have narrowly the best credentials. Vihaan's Queen is another who could play a big role in proceedings, while Few Dollars More is one to bear in mind too.
