Forecasts

Eaglesglen (7/4), Engrave (7/2), Avorisk Et Perils (4/1), Channel Packet (11/2), Cafe Milano (8/1), Brass Clankers (10/1), Filles De Fleur (14/1), Twpsyn (14/1), Prince Abu (25/1), Toscan Genius (25/1)

ENGRAVE seems to save her best for this venue and has a good chance to gain a third C&D victory here. Eaglesglen will be a signifcant danger if retaining all of his ability after a break and wind surgery. Avorisk Et Perils shouldn't be far away either.
