Forecasts

Secret Chord (13/8), Sabre Strike (5/2), Rock Of Bismantova (5/1), Breath Of Magic (15/2), Atarime (8/1), Theres A Light (8/1), Trip To States (10/1), Just My Captain (20/1), Hat Man (28/1), Sakhala Is'cathulo (28/1), Charlie's Dream (28/1), Pedasos (66/1), Royal Albert (66/1)

SECRET CHORD looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Breath Of Magic could give the selection most to think about, while Trip To States comes into calculations for minor honours.
