Forecasts

Clarkson (15/8), Vanderbilt (4/1), Whispers Of War (4/1), Kotinos (11/2), Argo Alley (11/2), Bloomington (17/2), Leopold (10/1), Flashy Apache (16/1), Coming In Hot (33/1), Run As One (40/1)

FLASHY APACHE just about appeals most but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Leopold rates the main danger, while Clarkson can make the first three as well.
