Forecasts

Chagall (6/5), Hachert (4/1), Fact Or Fable (4/1), Somedayonedaynever (10/1), The Charmer (10/1), Apfelstrudel (14/1), Bo Taifan (14/1), Eagle Path (16/1), Kaswarah (20/1), Sirius White (22/1), Plantatree (28/1), Tilsworth Jade (150/1)

CHAGALL scored over 1m here in November and ran respectably last time, so shouldn't need to improve to score on these terms. Hachert is a tricky sort but ran well on his latest outing and should be in the mix if in the same form, with Fact Or Fable making most appeal of the remainder.
