Forecasts

Je T'ai Porte (5/4), St Cianans Fire (11/4), Celtic Revival (10/1), Steel Queen (12/1), Kodiac Prince (14/1), Holding Aces (14/1), Eastern Tornado (16/1), Complete Fiction (18/1), Khafaaq (25/1), The Peckhampouncer (28/1), Han Solo (33/1), White Strand (50/1)

JE TAI PORTE came out on top in dominant fashion over C&D last week and remains totally unexposed at the trip, so a 7 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the follow up. St Cianans Fire and Steel Queen head the dangers.
