Forecasts

Je Ne Sais Quoi (5/6), Barg (9/2), Midnight Lir (5/1), Latama (7/1), Macarone (14/1), Swift Salian (25/1), Master Eli (28/1), All About Neve (50/1), Kode Secret (50/1), Miners Gamble (66/1), Ifonlytheycudtalk (80/1), Patronage (100/1), Clerys Clock (100/1), Drinkable (100/1)

JE NE SAIS QUOI shaped well in a stronger race than this at Ascot on debut and looks the one to beat despite the presence of Latama, who looks an interesting newcomer. Midnight Lir is also quite appealing.
