Forecasts

Honor And Pleasure (13/8), Fair Star (7/2), Protected Guest (7/1), Catbird Seat (7/1), Sea Of Charm (11/1), King's Advice (12/1), Progressive (14/1), Winklevi (25/1), Author's Dream (25/1)

Verdict

PROTECTED GUEST has his well documented quirks but it's hard to knock what he's done this winter and it's possible this step up in trip could suit him. French raiders are no stranger to success here on Good Friday and Honor And Pleasure arrives on a roll after winning 3 of his last 4 so he's feared most. Brian Ellison's Fair Star ran well behind the selection last time and is another who should play a part.
