Forecasts

Travel Lightly (1/1), Idilico (5/1), Thawry (11/2), Little India (11/2), Lion's Vigil (10/1), Pepper Street (22/1)

TRAVEL LIGHTLY won well over C&D last time, getting a hat-trick up in the process, and she looks the one to beat off a 5 lb higher mark. Lion's Vigil disappointed last time but could bounce back. Pepper Street ran well here on her last Flat outing and has to be considered.
