Forecasts

Think Trigger (85/40), Rivas Rob Roy (5/2), Jeremiah Johnson (11/4), Beau Geste (4/1), Toybox (5/1), Channel Packet (11/1), On The Nose (16/1), Show Me Now (80/1)

THINK TRIGGER shaped well on his handicap debut at Lingfield in January and is open to more progress now stepping up in trip switched to turf, so he's an appealing candidate in what looks a very winnable race. Rivas Rob Roy and Jeremiah Johnson both arrive in good nick, and they head the opposition.
