Forecasts

Janus (2/1), Angels Roc (9/2), Engrave (13/2), Apache Grey (7/1), Richard P Smith (15/2), Jacks Profit (15/2), Heatherdown Hero (9/1), Alice Kitty (10/1), Twining (20/1), Rumourmonger (50/1), Alsamyah (50/1), Last Roar (150/1)

Hat-trick seeking ANGELS ROC is much improved of late and hard to oppose able to race off the same mark as when a six-length scorer at Brighton. Janus is next on the list on the back of his good recent C&D second while in-form duo Alice Kitty and Richard P Smith need shortlisting too for place purposes.
