Forecasts

I'm Mable (13/8), Rockley Point (11/4), Arzaak (5/1), Desert Swirl (11/2), Doc Sportello (6/1), Hard Nut (13/2), Perfect Symphony (40/1)

Course-scorer ROCKLEY POINT went too freely when fourth at Wolverhampton last time and is favoured by these weights so can resume winning ways at the chief expense of Desert Swirl who arrives on the back of a very good Newcastle third. C&D winner I'm Mable can also have a say in an open handicap.
