Forecasts

So Fascinating (5/4), Je T'ai Porte (5/2), Ambitious (7/2), Bora Bora (8/1), Scalor (10/1), Big Dream (16/1), Step Back In Time (40/1), Saxonhill (50/1), La Bella Viva (66/1), Jacque Sullivan (100/1), Kaswarah (125/1), Laurens Company (150/1), Distant Dawn (150/1), Liberties Lady (150/1), Aintree Gin (150/1)

There were positives to glean from JE T'AI PORTE's introduction here over 7f here in August and she could prove the answer to a maiden bigger on quantity than quality. She promises to be suited by stepping up to a mile and is marginally preferred to So Fascinating, who went close at Killarney last time. Scalor is third choice ahead of Ambitious.
