Forecasts

Pot Sox (11/8), Sound Check (5/2), Dive Captain (5/1), Chile Jam (9/1), Intrepid Traveller (12/1), Bad Habit (14/1), Blue Duchess (18/1), Hereinafter (20/1), English Princess (28/1), Persica (40/1), Travel In Style (40/1), Eternal Hope (50/1)

POT SOX looks to be the safest option. Dive Captain is most likely the main opposition, while Intrepid Traveller might well have a say again as well.
