Forecasts

Calico (11/4), Pay The Piper (11/4), Xcitations (10/3), Mackenberg (5/1), Gold Des Bois (11/2), Hasankey (10/1)

It's possible to make a case for all of these. A 6 lb rise for PAY THE PIPER's comfortable Musselburgh success doesn't look too severe so he's the suggestion. Calico and Xcitations may give him most to do.
