Forecasts

Off Your Rocco (7/4), Phoenix Flower (7/2), Method Madness (5/1), Deo Bellator (13/2), Hophornbeam (7/1), Stockdale (9/1), My Mind Reader (10/1), Sam Lorenzo (12/1), Anna Van Go (20/1), Game And Glory (50/1)

OFF YOUR ROCCA makes plenty of appeal as the first foal of a useful hurdler (also won on the Flat) herself a sister to the very smart chaser Peregrine Run and he could hardly be in better hands. Deo Bellator upped her game switched to bumpers 18 days ago and is a threat, along with Hophornbeam on her return to action.
