Forecasts

Central City (9/4), Slings And Arrows (10/3), Jaspero (7/2), Dawn Of A New Era (7/2), Thunder Master (13/2), Adios Amigos (10/1), Lord Varys (10/1), Spring High (16/1), Question Master (20/1), Alingalonga (22/1), Knights Table (22/1), King Of Seville (28/1)

CENTRAL CITY looks marginally the best in this field but will need everything to fall right. Dawn Of A New Era is probably the sternest threat, while Slings And Arrows also seems unlikely to be far away.
