Forecasts

Tirpitz (2/1), Destiny Of Souls (11/4), Sage King (5/1), Mitch Got His Wish (15/2), After Hours (8/1), Lord Varys (10/1), Letsdoit (12/1), Forward Spell (12/1), Vasilikos (25/1), Coffee Break (28/1)

TIRPITZ's recent runs have had a lot to like about them and he seems the one they have to beat. Destiny Of Souls is probably the main threat, while Forward Spell also requires respect.
