Forecasts

Monsieur Fantaisie (11/10), Kodebreaker (4/1), Dandy Lichious (13/2), Headshot (7/1), Mr Slicker (8/1), Aspire To Glory (11/1), Tres Chic (11/1), Scarfo (33/1), Barney's Bay (40/1), Dark Side Premier (50/1), Lil Wade (100/1), One Moonbeam (100/1)

Several of these arrive out of sorts but that's certainly not the case for MONSIEUR FANTAISIE, who went down by just a head over C&D 11 days ago and can go one better with a repeat effort. Kodebreaker rates as an obvious danger back in grade, with Headshot and Tres Chic another couple fancied to be in the shake up.
