Forecasts

L'Homme Presse (6/5), Pencilfulloflead (9/4), Messire Des Obeaux (7/1), Black Op (17/2), Legends Ryde (18/1), Ex Patriot (22/1), Danny Whizzbang (50/1)

There's surely more to come from second-season chaser PENCILFULLOFLEAD and this looks a very suitable starting point switched to Britain. Messire des Obeaux is a pretty talented opponent, while L'Homme Presse created a very favourable impression at Exeter.
