Position and intensity = chance of the Major Tail = where it stood on the first day Lanes reorder as the chances change Up to 26 Sep: worked out afterwards on today's calendar, from the results known on each day and without the lists of who has qualified for each event. From 27 Sep (the mark): the forecast of the day, with those lists, so the step there is the lists, not results
