Forecasts

Soames Forsyte (7/2), Haworth Star (4/1), At Liberty (9/2), Just Janet (17/2), Rocket Rod (17/2), Keep Me Stable (17/2), Big R (10/1), Selby's Pride (16/1), Vondelpark (20/1), Royal Bliss (22/1), Kath's Toyboy (28/1), Sycamore (33/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for a few, but ROCKET ROD shaped best when going down only narrowly at Newcastle last month and gets the nod to go one better. Haworth Star and Royal Bliss are a couple of 3-y-os going the right way and they head the opposition.

  1. Rocket Rod17/2
  2. Haworth Star4/1
  3. Royal Bliss22/1
