Forecasts

Catch Cunningham (85/40), Toolatetonegotiate (5/2), The Coffee Pod (10/3), Pont Neuf (9/2), Diomed Duke (13/2), Abate (13/2), Rock Hunter (16/1), Lovelifenlaughter (25/1), Desdemona (66/1)

THE COFFEE POD is on a losing run but signalled he is ready to go close on the back of a very good Windsor third last time so gets the vote. Toolatetonegoitate is feared most on the back of a solid Windsor third with Pont Neuf and Catch Cunnigham also in the picture.
