Forecasts

Champ Kiely (30/100), Jeannot Lapin (5/2), What's Up Darling (4/1), Your Honor (66/1), Getaway King (200/1)

JEANNOT LAIPIN certainly has the physique for chasing and having created an excellent impression on debut, it's probably best to overlook his run in Grade 1 company at the beginning of the month, Back down slightly in class, he can see off Champ Kiely and What's Up Darling.
