Forecasts

The Crafty Mole (9/4), Monsieur Melee (7/2), Sir Galahad (11/2), L'Eagle Aid (13/2), Night Horn (17/2), It's Not Risky (12/1), Elforleather (14/1), Veer (22/1), Turing (33/1), Carvalhal (80/1)

SIR GALAHAD looked a different proposition when runner-up at Kempton last month and remains open to improvement. He can open his account. Monsieur Melee and The Crafty Mole rate the principal dangers.
