Forecasts

Rock Chant (10/11), Heath Rise (4/1), Hooves Like Jagger (6/1), Bird For Life (9/1), Frame Rate (11/1), Fandabidozi (25/1), Bellshill Beauty (25/1), Sociologist (25/1), Robeam (33/1)

ROCK CHANT displayed a good turn of foot when going in at Lingfield on his first try over 2m and a 5 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up give he is still unexposed as a stayer. Course-winner Hooves Like Jagger is feared most as he steps up to this distance, with C&D scorer Frame Rate and in-form Heath Rise both in the mix too in a competitive handicap.
