Forecasts

Kudzu (9/4), Copper John (3/1), Carnelo (7/2), Zoombomber (6/1), Officer In Command (8/1), Have A Party (9/1), Rose Tinted (10/1), Eiger Sanction (12/1), Royal Mazarin (22/1), Full Go (25/1)

CARNELO is running well enough to take this but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Copper John is most likely the chief threat, while Rose Tinted comes into calculations for minor honours.
