Forecasts

About To Storm (2/1), Captain Of Grit (4/1), Catchthegreenlight (5/1), Astrocyte (15/2), Dawn Of A New Era (15/2), Alingalonga (15/2), Tattenham Hill (11/1), Vengeance Forever (14/1), Castle Corner (25/1), Sea Ways (25/1), Absolute Value (33/1)

CAPTAIN OF GRIT is probably the safest recommendation but hasn't much room for error. Dawn Of A New Era is probably the chief threat, while About To Storm is another that should go well.
