Forecasts

Madame Peltier (10/3), Kodiac Harbour (9/2), Convertible (6/1), Star Of Wells (13/2), Starfighter (13/2), The Game Is On (9/1), Uther Pendragon (11/1), Stopnsearch (12/1), Michele Strogoff (18/1), James Park Woods (22/1), Miss Elsa (66/1), Gold Souk (200/1)

The form of MADAME PELTIER's C&D success in November is strong, so she's worth another chance despite underperforming down in trip subsequently. Kodiac Harbour is a danger if he, too, can put a poor run behind him, while Star of Wells could get involved from his reduced mark if in the same form as he was when runner-up at Wolverhampton on his latest outing.
