Forecasts

Sosoru (4/1), It's Personal (9/2), Lead The Charge (5/1), Trajanus (6/1), Just The Two Of Us (7/1), Paul Revere (8/1), Espinoza (10/1), Dontshootthebarman (14/1), Cymric (16/1), Halberdier (20/1), Echo Check (25/1), Yamadori (66/1)

Verdict

SOSORU is improving and can win again. Just The Two Of Us should be involved at the business end, while Paul Revere is another with place prospects.
