Forecasts

Billie Be Quick (3/1), Arctic Steps (10/3), El Fontenaro (10/3), Vanderbilt House (9/2), Steel Magnolia (6/1), Boyne Valley (14/1), Tino Pai (22/1)

C&D scorer BILLIE BE QUICK was just denied by Arctic Steps over C&D last time and is fancied to reverse the placings on these 3 lb better terms. Jennifer Lynch's filly still rates the main danger with El Fontenaro also firmly in the picture.
