Forecasts

Prime Chief (9/4), High Lake (5/2), Rockview Roman (5/1), Miss Louise (15/2), Martha's Vineyard (15/2), All The Mollies (8/1), Royal Red Persian (9/1), Flight Command (11/1), Jazzelle (14/1), Marvel Fan (20/1), Monsieur Piquer (28/1), Du Maurier (28/1), Wat Tyler (66/1), Tickerdi (80/1)

ROCKVIEW ROMAN is the type to bounce back quickly from a slightly below-par run last time and could be the answer here. Jim Bolger's High Lake is respected on the back of an improved second on her handicap bow, particularly if first-time headgear sees her pull out a bit more. Martha's Vineyard had an excuse last time and will also have a say if recapturing the level of her Killarney second.
