Forecasts

Chara Sands (13/8), Trafalgar Square (7/2), Griffin Park (9/2), Intrepid (11/2), Herecomestherain (7/1), Shot Of Courage (8/1), Plinian (8/1), Plettenberg (25/1), Lightning Jimmy (33/1)

CHARA SANDS continues in form and looks the one they all have to beat. Trafalgar Square is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Shot Of Courage is prominent among those with minor place claims.
