Forecasts

Deputy (9/4), Longlai (11/4), Magnificence (10/3), How Impressive (4/1), Stockpyle (9/2), Rocket Rod (8/1), Mountbatten (10/1), Cosmos Raj (12/1), Muntadab (14/1)

A few with chances but Michael Dods has his string in good nick and his DEPUTY made a promising return under a patient ride when fifth at Redcar so gets the nod. Rocket Rod also made an encouraging reappearance when fourth at Newcastle and rates the chief threat ahead of Kempton scorer Longlai and turf debutant How Impressive.
