Forecasts

Patter Merchant (1/2), Sounds Victorius (5/2), Jordann (6/1), Monslatt (50/1), Stellar Jury (150/1)

PATTER MERCHANT has already showed plenty of ability between the flags and he's related to one that was useful in this sphere, so he gets the nod over Sounds Victorius, who also makes plenty of appeal on paper. Market support for Jordann could bring him into the reckoning.
