Forecasts

Chantilly Lace (6/4), Brize Norton (2/1), Char (3/1), Pakal (9/2), Tremolo (9/1), Top Of Pleinmont (50/1), Launceston (66/1), Tawny Porter (100/1)

CHANTILLY LACE is a very appealing sort on paper and gets the vote before market clues. Char and Pakal are also of firm interest in a novice the newcomers could dominate.
