Forecasts

Afaak (15/8), Chance (5/2), Dashing Roger (5/1), Young Fire (11/2), National League (11/2), Greenside (6/1), King Carney (25/1)

AFAAK produced his best effort since 2019 when runner-up at Haydock a month ago and, now he's back in form, is too well treated to ignore. Dashing Roger found the Balmoral Handicap too much last week but is expected to bounce back at this level.
