Forecasts

Sage Monkey (5/4), Toe To Toe (4/1), Romeo Is Bleeding (4/1), Desertmore Hill (9/2), Deise Vu (8/1), Mr Sawyer (14/1), The Shepherd King (16/1), Intifadah (25/1), Heurtevent (33/1)

None of these are known for their consistency and a degree of caution is advised. DEISE VU has a reasonable record here and might be able to dominate, and on what looks a winnable mark gets the vote. Romeo Is Bleeding did it nicely here last time out and is the obvious one if he's in the same frame of mind. Toe To Toe will travel best but invariably finds less than you think once push comes to shove, but can take third.
