Forecasts

Hit Mac (15/8), Gunnerside (2/1), Ramdon Rocks (5/1), Mehmo (11/2), Ellie Piper (10/1), Q Twenty Boy (16/1), Dodgy Bob (20/1), Six O' Hearts (22/1), Enchanted Night (25/1), Another Bertie (28/1), Lucky Beggar (80/1)

Although HIT MAC has proved quite expensive to follow so far he can't be knocked for consistency and it's surely only a matter of time before he gets his head in front. Ramdon Rocks ran his best race for the Alice Haynes stable when runner-up at Newcastle last week and is feared most ahead of Gunnerside, who is well treated if staging a revival.
