Forecasts

Passage Of Power (7/2), Putins Promise (7/2), Frontline Fighter (4/1), Lord Wylie (9/2), African Skyline (7/1), Hooves Of Troy (17/2), Princekresh (10/1), Grappler (14/1), Hope Is Power (16/1), Winter With Jo (33/1)

HOOVES OF TROY just about gets the nod but will need to be on song. Putins Promise should be involved at the business end, while Passage Of Power merits respect also.
