Forecasts

Cafe Sydney (3/1), Affair (4/1), Villanelle (9/2), Percy's Prince (7/1), Corofin (9/1), Devizes (12/1), French Mix (12/1), Lep (14/1), Light Of Air (16/1), Confab (20/1), Hi There Silver (40/1)

CAFE SYDNEY has been shaping up well recently and looks ready to strike. Affair is likely to come on for her recent run and pose a threat, while Villanelle still held every chance when unseating her rider 2f out at Wolverhampton 5 days ago, so also enters calculations.
