Forecasts

No Saint (10/3), L'Argent (7/2), Triple Force (4/1), Barleybrown (8/1), Mr Heinz (11/1), Armoured (12/1), Masterpainter (14/1), Game Management (18/1), Whatwouldyouknow (20/1), Sneaky Girl (22/1), Heavenly Fire (33/1), Arranmore (40/1), Catrake Force (50/1), Struck Gold (50/1)

L'ARGENT is well treated and travelled like he's ready to strike when fourth at Southwell last time, so he's worth siding with over Barleybrown, who was a good fourth to the reopposing Mr Heinz 9 days ago but is 5 lb better off with that rival.
