Forecasts

Dourado (4/1), Bowland Park (5/1), Newton Jack (5/1), Goddess Of Fire (11/2), Mythical Madness (11/2), Curtiz (8/1), Le Reveur (8/1), Hot Summer (10/1), Prince Rock (14/1), Pope Gregory (28/1), Plymouth Rock (66/1)

Having found only a well-handicapped horse too strong at Lingfield, PRINCE ROCK did too much too soon at Brighton, so can be forgiven that run. Back from a break, he could be the way to go at likely rewarding odds, with hat-trick seeking veteran Mythical Madness and Newton Jack feared most.
