Forecasts

He Fitz In (7/2), Hascoeur Clermont (7/2), Likable Chancer (9/2), Movie King (6/1), Soloman Lane (15/2), Midnight Our Fred (8/1), Hardwired (9/1), Ocean Legacy (10/1), Le Malin (14/1), Deadheat (22/1), Four Country Roads (50/1)

LIKABLE CHANCER has been knocking on the door of late and should go well again. He Fitz In was around 2 lengths up when falling at the last at Sligo 2 weeks ago so rates a big threat if none the worse, while Midnight Our Fred should do better now handicapping.
