Forecasts

Lafan (2/1), Rogue Force (10/3), Espresso Freddo (4/1), Proclaimer (6/1), Freedom And Wheat (8/1), Prioritise (11/1), Perfect Focus (11/1), Unforgiving Minute (20/1), Stately Home (22/1), Rock Chant (22/1), Haykal (150/1)

PRIORITISE was clearly amiss when last seen in July but she was progressive prior to that and has gone well fresh before, so is worth another chance. Espresso Freddo conceded first run when a length second to Lafan over C&D 18 days ago and is 3 lb better off now, so rates the main threat.
