Forecasts

Michele Strogoff (5/2), Revolutionary Man (9/2), Highest Mountain (6/1), Courtside (15/2), Pour La Victoire (17/2), Word Of Honour (10/1), Ascot Week (11/1), Tagovailoa (11/1), Man Of The Sea (18/1), Must Be An Angel (22/1), Mountain Rescue (100/1)

An open-looking seller in which a chance is taken on HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, who scored over C&D in November and had excuses for his sole subsequent outing. Man of The Sea and Revolutionary Man arrive in better form than most, so are feasible alternatives.
