Forecasts

Pedro (5/4), Fujisan (9/2), Meetatthewindsor (11/2), The Charioteer (8/1), Elusive Justice (10/1), Slainte Mhath (11/1), Wind Sock (12/1), Maldano (12/1), Hallerbos (12/1), Head Gardener (18/1), Honest Quest (40/1)

PEDRO couldn't win when favourite last time, but still appeals as the likeliest winner here. The Charioteer is another that comes into the equation, while Head Gardener is the tentative selection for third.
