Forecasts

Black Knap (11/4), Silver Host (10/3), The Gatekeeper (5/1), Flying Carpet (13/2), Shango (9/1), Origami (10/1), Sachdev (14/1), Pack Leader (14/1), Azores (18/1), Divine Odyssey (18/1), Tree Tumbo (25/1), Share Holder (40/1)

SHANGO took a large step forward last time and will be tough to beat. Black Knap looks the best option for the forecast, while Pack Leader is another with a place chance too.
