Forecasts

Out The Hat (8/13), Forbidden Secret (3/1), Pivoting (13/2), Firestick (16/1), Blazing Son (22/1), Mountain Ash (50/1), Capla Lass (100/1)

OUT THE HAT has to carry a penalty, but he's still the clear pick on form, and hard to oppose. Forbidden Secret is just preferred to Pivoting for forecast purposes.
