Forecasts

Trais Fluors (2/1), Panama City (10/3), Sandret (8/1), Odd Socks Havana (10/1), Balqaa (11/1), Mr Jetman (11/1), Impeach (14/1), Annandale (14/1), Toophan (16/1), Likeashadow (18/1), Redondo (33/1), Treasure Storm (40/1)

TRAIS FLUORS capitalised on a reduced mark when going in over C&D last time and looks weighted to go close again despite taking a 3 lb rise. Fellow C&D scorer Sandret heads the list of dangers, with Balqaa and Annandale not discounted either.
