Forecasts

Lucky Flight (15/8), Tico Times (5/2), Fabrique En France (3/1), Ardera Cross (10/3), Hermann Clermont (4/1), Shareef Star (4/1)

A few with chances, but ARDERA CROSS looks the way to go on the back of his recent excellent Cartmel second, with C&D scorer Lucky Flight next on the list. Shareef Star is weighted to go well if back on song after his recent Ffoa Las third.
