Forecasts

San Benedeto (6/5), Master Dancer (4/1), Chef D'Equipe (9/2), Dieu Vivant (6/1), Zamparelli (10/1), Bletchley Castle (12/1), Billy Hicks (50/1), Drumhart (250/1)

The likeable CHEF D'EQUIPE should be ready to go despite a year on the sidelines and is marginally preferred to the classy San Benedeto, who has more than enough ability to overcome the selection but has something to prove following a disappointing season to date. Master Dancer is the pick of the remainder.
