Forecasts

Grand Sancy (10/3), Manofthemountain (7/2), Hurricane Harvey (11/2), Not That Fuisse (13/2), Paint The Dream (15/2), Janika (17/2), Dolos (12/1), Five Star Getaway (16/1), Espoir De Teillee (20/1)

GRAND SANCY was a bit underwhelming in handicaps last season, but his winning return in a listed event over C&D this time last year sticks in the mind, so he's fancied to repeat the feat off a handy mark. His stablemate, Dolos, is also expected to run well, while it would be no surprise were Five Star Getaway to resume progress having been freshened up. All in all, a fascinating contest.
