Forecasts

Frere Fontaine (5/2), Fox Le Bel (7/2), Difficult Decision (5/1), Isabel's Gold (5/1), Monty's Mission (9/1), High Viz (10/1), Whoyakodding (16/1), Vue En Seine (25/1), Lucia's Bob (33/1), Jaunty Warrior (33/1), All About Alfie (40/1), Elusive Exclusive (66/1), Anjilina (100/1)

There are some really in-form handicappers here but recent winners FRERE FONTAINE and Difficult Decision look the two most likely with the former's win over C&D narrowly giving her the edge. Lightly-raced Fox Le Bel is another worth considering.
