Forecasts

Calchas (5/4), Sayedaati Saadati (15/8), Al Shabab Spirit (7/2), Merci Monsieur (9/1), Blue Nebulae (33/1), Faraway Tree (40/1), Whinbarrow (400/1), One Star (400/1)

CALCHAS left his debut form well behind having been gelded in the 10 weeks since when third at Doncaster and can put his experience to good use up against a couple of interesting newcomers, namely Sayedaati Saadati and Merci Monsieur.
