Forecasts

Alwajd (11/4), Lethal Touch (3/1), Star Of St Louis (11/2), Meisterzinger (6/1), No Such Luck (17/2), Cape Cornwall Rose (10/1), Destinado (16/1), Irlandais Intrigue (16/1), Our Noble Lord (20/1), Joking (22/1), Keeper (28/1)

STAR OF ST LOUIS made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at this C&D last month and can add another win to his tally back in handicap company. The 5-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of No Such Luck, who can get involved again having had a wind op since last seen. Lethal Touch completes the shortlist.
