Forecasts

Hotrocket (7/4), Furnace Creek (9/2), Verhoyen (11/2), Big Baby Bull (7/1), Red Heel (8/1), Hightimeyouwon (8/1), Pandora Lovegood (8/1), Lust (9/1), Lexington Dash (12/1), Snapraeterea (12/1), Hallowed Time (14/1), Pale Iris (25/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (28/1), Exquisite Acclaim (40/1)

HOTROCKET can already boast a C&D win and looks to have more to offer on the back of his ready Gowran success (form been franked) so gets the vote in a highly competitive handicap. Red Heel is weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers, although both Hallowed Time and Big Baby Bull also merit plenty of respect.
