Forecasts

Fumet D'Oudairies (13/8), Envoye Special (13/8), Risk And Roll (9/2), Rafferty (14/1), Downbythestrand (20/1), Magna Sam (25/1), Sam Cavallaro (25/1), Creative Inerta (33/1), Namako (50/1), Jungle Legend (200/1), Babytaggle (200/1)

ENVOYE SPECIAL arrives in good nick and gets the vote at the chief expense of Fumet d'Oudairies who is thriving for his new handler and rates a massive threat. Three-time winner of this event Sam Cavallaro appeals as the pick of the remainder.
