Forecasts

Head Gardener (5/2), Meetatthewindsor (11/4), Launch Code (4/1), Godfather (9/2), Irontail (5/1), Meeneera (14/1), Admiral's Ransom (20/1), Bridgerton (20/1), War Launch (22/1), Valyrian Sword (66/1)

LAUNCH CODE frustrated those who made him favourite last time, but still makes most appeal again. Meetatthewindsor is hard to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Admiral's Ransom edges it for third.
