Forecasts

Under Your Spell (2/1), Master Archie (3/1), Captain Lannister (4/1), Bella Chica (6/1), Team Gold (15/2), Sheldon (8/1), Rollwiththepunches (12/1), Irfaans Boy (16/1), Bronco Blitz (33/1)

SHELDON has been operating at a solid level lately and should make a bold show. Under Your Spell is just about preferred for second, while Master Archie also needs a closer look.
