Forecasts

Roman Roy (15/8), Woodland Park (7/2), Mythical Moon (5/1), Berliath (5/1), The Ron Do Ron (6/1), Chesh (6/1), Oak Grove (13/2), Country Mile (7/1), Chocolate Hobbnob (10/1), West Hill Verde (11/1), Notorious Pink (12/1), Thistle Be The One (40/1), Red Rocks Lady (50/1), Telenn D'annain (150/1)

Several notable newcomers but they'll all have a job getting the better of ROMAN ROY, who made a bright start when runner-up at Wincanton on debut. Oak Grove also shaped with promise first time out and Country Mile is an interesting recruit from points.
