Forecasts

Shine Baby Shine (7/4), Heron (15/8), Amourie (5/1), Archippos (10/1), Mister Universum (11/1), Para Queen (11/1), L'Es Fremantle (200/1)

HERON won over C&D fairly convincingly last month and a 5 lb rise shouldn't stop him bringing the double up in an uncompetitive-looking race. Shine Baby Shine is another C&D winner that may prove to be the biggest danger. Para Queen and Amourie aren't out of it either.
