Forecasts

Quercus (3/1), Giselles Izzy (9/2), Wade's Magic (5/1), Dream Deal (13/2), Woodlands Charm (17/2), Lady Celia (10/1), New Tycoon (10/1), Hurstwood (11/1), Lezardrieux (12/1), Redrosezorro (14/1), Noteable (25/1), He's An Angel (80/1)

QUERCUS has fared well with the draw and can defy the handicapper again and complete a C&D hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out C&D scorer Wade's Magic is second choice ahead of Lady Celia and Giselles Izzy.
