Forecasts

Outlaw King (2/1), Tail Of The Comet (2/1), Ready To Charge (7/2), Qhawe Lami (6/1), Mount Pilatus (9/1), Just Be Lekker (9/1), Heirloom (33/1), Icy Blast (40/1), Let The Flag Fly (50/1)

READY TO CHARGE could be capable of better still and sets the bar, anyway. Outlaw King can get the better of the remainder for second, while Tail Of The Comet has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
