Forecasts

Caesura (5/2), Ibutho (7/2), Count Marsh (4/1), Wave Warrior (6/1), Ravens Sword (13/2), Ice Kingdom (8/1), Teichman (17/2), Corsican (9/1), Flying Grace (18/1)

CAESURA just about appeals most in this field but it's an open race. Corsican is most likely the main danger, while Ravens Sword also requires respect.
