Forecasts

Carnelo (11/4), Japanese Maple (10/3), Whispers Of War (4/1), Storm Ahead (5/1), Gamer (7/1), Only A Poet (17/2), Manz Knight (17/2), Bob Lee Swagger (12/1), Hat Furious (12/1), Silver Flare (18/1), Cartagena (33/1), The Merciful (50/1), Summerland (66/1)

Verdict

WHISPERS OF WAR is in good heart right now and just about gets the nod in this company. Japanese Maple seems the leading danger, while Cartagena is the other candidate for the three.
