Forecasts

Cape Bouquet (13/8), London Roads (11/4), Arlington Action (5/1), Kissed By Fire (11/2), Takagari (6/1), Lamborghreeni (10/1), Intercity (16/1), Sardo Numspa (22/1), Royal Siege (25/1), The Punisher (33/1), General Paschal (50/1)

CAPE BOUQUET looks marginally the best of this bunch but hasn't much room for error. Kissed By Fire is most likely the principal challenger, while Lamborghreeni might well have a say too.
