Forecasts

Grimaldi (7/4), Leading Lad (10/3), Fifth Of July (4/1), Willo'thewisp (4/1), Fred (10/1), Forged By Fire (14/1), Light Without (22/1), Major Winter (25/1), Imperial Duke (25/1)

WILLO'THEWISP continues to run well and could be difficult to catch. Forged By Fire has the best claims of the remainder, while Light Without is in the running for a share of the minor money.
