Forecasts

Traveller (5/2), Saisons D'Or (7/2), Casilli (5/1), Defence Treaty (5/1), Castle Quarter (11/2), Vive La Difference (7/1), With Promise (15/2), Curfewed (10/1), Majalaat (14/1), Ideal Candy (20/1)

A chance is taken on SAISONS D'OR who has slipped a fair way in the weights and is potentially a bit better than this level. Antony Brittain has his team in flying form so Traveller rates a danger if this doesn't come too quickly on the back of Wolverhampton on Tuesday. Defence Treaty should be suited by the return to 1m and also makes the shortlist.
