Forecasts

Imhotep (10/11), Wolfram (3/1), Military Man (4/1), Fearless Badger (5/1), Joe Harman (14/1), Sunlit From Heaven (18/1), Belle's First Wave (18/1), Sundrop (18/1), First Master (25/1), Secret Summer (28/1), He's A Gaul (33/1)

SUNDROP has obvious claims if not inconvenienced by this different trip. Sunlit From Heaven is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Wolfram is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
