Forecasts

Compass Point (3/1), Amor Fati (9/2), Kilbaha Lady (5/1), Monsieur Fox (11/2), Squire (6/1), Benjamin Thomas (6/1), Blessed To Empress (8/1), My Town Chicago (8/1), Accomplice (25/1), Dukes Meadow (33/1), Plucky Dip (50/1)

Kilbaha Lady and Blessed To Empress are consistent, but continue to receive little respite from the handicapper. Amor Fati is in form and may be able to confirm recent running with Monsieur Fox, while at the top end of the handicap Accomplice and My Town Chicago have done enough to warrant consideration. However, COMPASS POINT won well over C&D last time and, with confidence high, may be able to defy a 5lb rise.
