Forecasts

Greenlight Magic (9/4), Little Prince (4/1), Ignatius (4/1), Luthuli (5/1), Futurewolff (5/1), Climate Control (11/2), Vesuvio (8/1), Bronze Sword (12/1), Dark Travel (18/1), Knights Table (28/1)

LITTLE PRINCE looks to be the safest option but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Luthuli is probably the main danger, while Ignatius has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
