Forecasts

Titan Rock (9/4), Great King (3/1), Corazon Espinado (11/2), Firepower (13/2), Lexington Dash (13/2), Bravado (7/1)

TITAN ROCK was edged out by a fellow 3-y-o at Chester last week and looks poised to go one better from just 1 lb higher. Lexington Dash takes a slight ease in class and is feared, while Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking on Corazon Espinado.
