Forecasts

War Chant (85/40), Obama Army (3/1), Racing Demon (13/2), Brabusach (13/2), Threebars (8/1), Milvus (10/1), Don't What Me Boy (18/1), Kohana Breeze (22/1), J J Stingleton (28/1), Billaki Mou (33/1), Pub Club (40/1), Genepi (66/1), Arlecchino's Star (100/1), Bodega Nights (125/1)

WAR CHANT has few miles on the clock and found improvement when second at Redcar last time, so he's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of Racing Demon, who arrives in good order. Obama Army is also considered.
