Forecasts

So Chic (10/3), El Hibri (7/2), Major Gatsby (7/2), Rabinal (11/2), Maurices Men (15/2), Broxi (16/1), Handel (18/1), Port Noir (20/1), Media Guest (25/1), Chico Dulce (33/1), Regal Glory (40/1)

SO CHIC was unlucky not to follow up her C&D win here last month and can quickly resume winning ways. Penalised-winner El Hibri is next best ahead of Maurices Men.
