Forecasts

Purple Pitcher (1/1), House Of Romanov (6/4), Jordan (9/4), Hawkbill (6/1), We Are The Logans (13/2), Soldier's Eye (16/1), Majestic Touch (25/1)

JORDAN is the tentative selection but has next to no margin for error. House Of Romanov arguably sets the standard among the remainder, while Soldier's Eye isn't entirely out of it either.
