Forecasts

Got No Dollars (11/8), Mysterious Maestro (9/2), Mitigator (6/1), Doves Of Peace (15/2), Shabs (17/2), Adace (12/1), Cap D'Antibes (16/1), So Chic (25/1), Darker (25/1), Victory House (33/1), Sea The Buckthorn (66/1), Channel Packet (66/1)

MITIGATOR may be worth siding with back dow in trip here on the back of a solid effort st Kempton. He gets the nod ahead of Cap d'Antibes, while Mysterious Maestro is also high on the shortlist.
