Forecasts

Trafalgar Square (5/2), Princess Tea (9/2), Lebanese Pound (5/1), Hereinafter (13/2), Purple Operator (8/1), Beckoning Beauty (17/2), Calvino (17/2), Candy For My Mommy (22/1)

PURPLE OPERATOR is narrowly favoured all things considered but has next to no margin for error. Hereinafter is probably the main danger, while Trafalgar Square isn't entirely out of it either.
