Forecasts

Night Bomber (2/1), Cymric (5/1), Passage Of Power (13/2), Rollwiththepunches (13/2), Silver Tudor (15/2), Bob's Your Uncle (8/1), Max The Magician (11/1), Just Be Lekker (11/1), Halberdier (14/1), Callmewhenuneedme (28/1), Tchaikovsky (28/1), Biofarmer (33/1)

TCHAIKOVSKY has a little in hand but can't afford for much to go wrong. Rollwiththepunches is hard to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Callmewhenuneedme edges it for third.
