Forecasts

Sattam (13/8), Jeu De Pic (9/4), Dee Capo (10/3), River Robe (8/1), Threesheetstodwind (11/1), Koo Star (20/1), Princess Fiadh (50/1), Dream Shaper (300/1)

JEU DE PIC is out of a French bumper winner and is the subject of a notable jockey booking, so he might be able to open his account at the first attempt. Sattam and Dee Capo have both achieved a fair level of form, so they should also be on the premises.
