Forecasts

Sword Of Mercy (4/6), Williamson (4/1), Every Cloud (9/1), King's Express (9/1), I'm A Man (10/1), Desert Fox (12/1), Master Of Defense (22/1), Raining Rubies (25/1), Atchison Topeka (33/1), Volte Face (66/1), Flight De Grace (66/1)

SWORD OF MERCY took a huge step forward last time and has decent claims. Williamson shouldn't be too far away either, while Desert Fox edges it so far as third place is concerned.
