Forecasts

Monsieur Fantaisie (2/1), Ignac Lamar (3/1), Kodebreaker (9/2), Yaahobby (11/2), Vixey (6/1), Lion's Dream (12/1), Crocus Time (12/1), Cammy (25/1), Barney's Bay (40/1), Royal Justice (40/1)

MONSIEUR FANTAISIE has a great record at Southwell (form figures of 2121) and can resume winning ways having pulled his chance away at Newcastle last week. Crocus Time has dropped to a mark that makes her impossible to ignore (has been placed off 65), while Cammy and Royal Justice are both potentially interesting for new stables.
