Forecasts

Legal Thriller (5/2), Pembroke (3/1), The Charioteer (9/2), Metar (5/1), Hawk Circle (6/1), Euphoric (7/1), Africa's Rock (8/1), Sand Bank (14/1), Empire Blue (33/1)

THE CHARIOTEER can take this. Africa's Rock seems the leading threat, while Legal Thriller might be worth siding with for third.
