Forecasts

Millie Of Mayo (9/4), Big Penny (11/4), Jac Brown (10/3), Envol De La Cour (5/1), Malangen (11/2), Damut I'm Out (15/2), Airton (10/1), Mance Rayder (14/1), Running Wolf (16/1), Vendredi Trois (22/1), Linguine (80/1), Poniel (150/1)

DAMUT I'M OUT had an excuse for his poor run last time and can bounce straight back to form returned to hurdles, while Airton is well handicapped so could also play a part if the refitting of a tongue trap helps to spark a revival.
