Forecasts
Guillaume (2/1), Saint Jaguen (11/4), Blue Bear (10/3), Coeur Aimant (4/1), Crews Pitch (5/1), Halfway House Lad (11/2), Claret Dabbler (9/1), Berliet Express (12/1), Dakota Moirette (18/1), Nancy Till (20/1)
Hard to be confident about any of these but the switch to fences and a handicap may see SAINT JAGUEN in a much better light for his successful yard. Guillaume ideally needs a stiffer test of stamina than this but he should be keeping on, with Crews Pitch another to consider.
