Forecasts

Alma Libre (7/2), Halla Ban (5/1), Lygon Street (11/2), Tudor City (17/2), Gradulations (10/1), Queen Of Seduction (10/1), Crassus (12/1), Skyquake (14/1), Cafe Con Leche (14/1), Beautiful Chaos (18/1), Zileo (20/1), Votre Homme (20/1), S'all Good Man (22/1), Saxe Coburg (40/1), One Cool Poet (50/1), Cursory Exam (66/1), Athagabhain (150/1), Srowland Jack (250/1)

Any number to consider, but LYGON STREET should blossom over this sort of trip and in receipt of weight from most of these, he's just about the most persuasive option. Votre Homme is going the right way and is feared, while Tudor City is dangerous with his reappearance behind him.
