Forecasts

Pistol Pete (2/1), Lucky Lad (10/3), Cats Pajamas (6/1), Mount Pilatus (8/1), Chyavana (10/1), Red Bomber (14/1), Sheldon (18/1), Rulership (18/1), Melech (20/1), Gimmeanotherchance (20/1), Quantum Theory (25/1), Magic Tattoo (28/1), After The Rain (33/1), Halberdier (40/1)

PISTOL PETE is a good amount clear on all known form and sets the bar high. Sheldon could be the answer to second spot, while Chyavana is another with the potential to figure.
