Forecasts

Dyagilev (9/4), Palazzo (3/1), Sezina (6/1), Compass Point (10/1), Milldean Felix (12/1), My Law (12/1), Geography Teacher (14/1), Sharrabang (14/1), Velvet Vista (14/1), Parknacilla (18/1), Van Dijk (22/1), Kit's Allanah (50/1)

PALAZZO has gained all 3 career wins over this C&D, and with the latest of them emphatically boosted by the runner-up since, he looks the way to go. Dyagilev had 3 of these behind when successful last time and is an obvious threat, with Compass Point capable of getting some further place money.
