Forecasts

Satono Chevalier (15/8), Dark Street (3/1), Matilda With Me (11/2), Power Drive (7/1), Wonder Spirit (12/1), Everyhouronthehour (12/1), Magi Gal (20/1), Inchbae (22/1), Vlad The Impaler (33/1), Baron Wild (40/1), Hot Lady (50/1), Laurens Company (50/1), Polar Peak (50/1), Itsnoteasyhi (80/1)

MATILDA WITH ME arrives in good order and should benefit from the drop in trip, so she gets the nod ahead of Dark Street, with Satono Chevalier another obvious player if he turns up in the same mood as when second over C&D on his return a fortnight ago.
