Forecasts

Ckalco Des Loges (5/6), Psychedelic Rock (6/4), Equus Millar (15/2), Whiskey Baron (40/1)

Unless Equus MIllar is a decent recruit, this should be fought out by CKALCO DES LOGES and Psychedelic Rock. There may not be too much between them, but the former has a 5lb higher official rating and his capable jockey takes off 3lb.
