Forecasts

Escapeandevade (15/8), Gold Des Bois (5/2), Sacre Coeur (16/5), Netywell (10/3), Duty Calls (9/2), Cedar Hill (10/1), Coastguard Station (10/1), Whoshotthesheriff (18/1)

This looks wide open but the vote goes to the likeable SACRE COEUR who arrives on the back of a good Sandown second and can go one better now eased 1 lb. Escapeandevade is another solid option. Netywell can't be discounted either as he bids to complete his four-timer. Course-specialist Cedar Hill completes the shortlist.
