Forecasts

Ace Rothstein (5/2), Scampi (9/2), Rewired (6/1), Chichester (13/2), Painless Potter (15/2), Red October (9/1), Oslo (10/1), Tregony (14/1), Highwaygrey (25/1)

ACE ROTHSTEIN was much improved when making a successful seasonal/handicap debut at Yarmouth, impressing with how readily he went clear off a steady pace, so he's a straightforward selection. Most of the others have something to recommend them, however, with both Oslo and Rewired appealing as notable dangers.
