Forecasts

Secret Is Ours (7/4), Ice Man Cometh (11/4), Ball Rolling (13/2), Wondering Star (7/1), Sequoia (7/1), Ancient Rome (10/1), Catchthegreenlight (14/1), Double Martini (25/1), My Kingdom (25/1), Twosidestoastory (28/1), Riccardo (28/1), Silly Fella (33/1), Cherokee Chief (33/1), Bridge Of Spies (66/1), Savage Love (66/1)

BALL ROLLING is proving consistent and just about gets the nod in this field. Wondering Star makes most appeal of the others, while Ice Man Cometh might well have a say as well.
