Forecasts

Path Of Choice (5/4), Charlie Malone (9/4), The Charioteer (5/1), Wind Sock (8/1), Green Falcon (11/1), Captains Walk (12/1), Arturo (14/1), Admiral's Ransom (16/1), Mister Whistle (28/1), Racinante (33/1)

MISTER WHISTLE continues to operate somewhere near current best and seems likely to take the beating. Charlie Malone shouldn't be too far away either, while The Charioteer looks best of the rest.
