Forecasts

Dame De Compagnie (2/1), Count Meribel (2/1), Captain Cattistock (11/4), Warthog (11/1), Point Of Principle (12/1)

Count Meribel will try and make all here but if his last couple of efforts are to be believed, then he may well have gone off the boil, and will be vulnerable late on. CAPTAIN CATTISTOCK looks the improver and although he has a little to find on form, he loks capable of bridging the gap. Dame De Compagnie is probably capable of better but has a little to prove now, so Point Of Principle is preferred for the bronze medal.
