Forecasts

Captain Dizzy (7/2), Axel Collins (4/1), Covert Operator (5/1), Stormy Seas (17/2), Successful Secret (14/1), Bronco Blitz (14/1), Iron Sky (16/1), Siberian Steel (16/1), What A Honey (20/1), Silver Mensa (22/1), Existentialist (28/1), I Am Regal (33/1)

COVERT OPERATOR is just about the pick in this line up. Axel Collins can also play a leading role, while Silver Mensa might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
