Forecasts

Where's Freddy (5/2), Benacre (7/2), Flag Of St George (6/1), Charming Whisper (7/1), Kitaro Kich (15/2), Billy Mill (8/1), A Major Payne (12/1), Swiss Ace (16/1), Gunlock (25/1), Lady Flora (25/1), Court Of Session (66/1), Cill Mocheallog (80/1)

Preference is for CHARMING WHISPER, who has dropped to a handy mark and should be straighter for last month's course reappearance. Kitaro Kich and Where's Freddy rate the principal dangers.
