Forecasts

Launch Code (3/1), Pedro (7/2), Meetatthewindsor (4/1), Heknows (5/1), Alado's Pride (7/1), Legal Chitchat (17/2), Head Gardener (9/1), Godfather (10/1), San Quintin (12/1), Silent Whisperer (16/1), Kavian's Cara (20/1), Valyrian Sword (40/1)

ALADO'S PRIDE should be bang there but hasn't much room for error. Silent Whisperer is chosen to complete for the forecast, while Pedro edges it so far as third place is concerned.
