Forecasts

Emerald Banner (4/7), Twilight Hours (3/1), Cheval Victorious (7/2), Clonmacash (13/2), Zelestial (7/1), Fair Taxes (17/2), Rosato (20/1), Abiding Star (22/1), Signor Ferrari (25/1), Mint Man (50/1), Lorr's Girl (125/1)

EMERALD BANNER sets the standard and may not have reached her limit, so she takes preference over Twilight Hours, who looks a notable newcomer. Zelestial also warrants a mention.
