Forecasts

Melangerie (6/5), Passing Call (13/8), Secret Escape (7/2), Rouergate (6/1), The Mistress (16/1), Quine des Champs (20/1), Sin Sin (33/1), Hijran (33/1), Shufoog (33/1), Trojan Lass (40/1), May Mist (66/1), Fleur Du Pommier (100/1), Lady Vitesse (100/1), Gloi (100/1), Celer Et Audax (100/1), Definite Winner (100/1)

On paper it looks unlikely that many of these will be involved at the business end and the vote goes to PASSING CALL, whose ½L defeat last time looks decent form in context and she is probably capable of going one better. Melangerie is very much respected under her penalty with James Bowen claiming a very useful 5lb, while a very competitive effort from Secret Escape on her hurdles debut is anticipated. Quine Des Champs, The Mistress and Rouergate all have a bit of improving to do, but that is not ruled out.
