Forecasts

Echo Check (1/1), The Last Duke (9/2), Ensuing (6/1), Secret Chord (17/2), Rock Of Bismantova (17/2), Gimmethegoodlife (17/2), Silver Tudor (10/1), Bob's Your Uncle (11/1), Satyagraha (18/1), Wild At War (20/1), Passage Of Power (20/1), Richard The First (33/1), Can You Danse (66/1)

THE LAST DUKE is easily up to taking this on recent exploits and is a major player. Can You Danse might be the answer to second spot, while Echo Check is a solid place option.
