Forecasts

Twenty Drachma's (15/8), Judgement Day (2/1), Animal Impact (9/2), Crimson Forest (9/2), Al Bayreg (9/2), Taxhaven (6/1), District Twelve (9/1), Pike Place (12/1), All Rise (20/1), Siracha (33/1), Three Bells (33/1)

JUDGEMENT DAY is quite clearly in front of these formwise and has an excellent chance. Crimson Forest is another who could play a big role in proceedings, while Twenty Drachma's is the third candidate for the three.
