Forecasts

Eventidor (11/4), Blazing Light (5/1), Lucretius (6/1), Allaroundtheworld (13/2), King Bavarian (7/1), Code Of Conduct (7/1), Tom's Act (11/1), San Marzano (12/1), Notable (14/1), Pascali (18/1), Ravens Sword (22/1), Dontstopmenow (25/1)

LUCRETIUS just about edges it as the selection but has little room for error. Pascali should be thereabouts as well, while San Marzano is another to bear in mind.
