Forecasts

Monsieur Fantaisie (5/2), Street Poet (7/2), Dark Design (9/2), Dors Toyboy (5/1), Vivency (7/1), Royal Heart (10/1), Ellie Piper (20/1), Axel Jacklin (25/1), Enchanted Night (33/1), Lua De Mel (50/1), Gossamer Silk (66/1)

MONSIEUR FANTAISE has upped his game since dropped to 6f, and assuming he's as effective at 7f, he looks the way to go. Dark Design and Axel Jacklin return from a break but look the pick of the opposition.
