Forecasts

Lincoln Rockstar (2/1), Caramay (16/5), Escarpment (9/2), Spring Chorus (5/1), Rose Light (10/1), Angelica K (12/1), Pablo Prince (22/1), Keeper (66/1), All Blues (125/1)

LINCOLN ROCKSTAR has had a fine spell since joining Ivan Furtado and might be good for another win. It's taken a while but Escarpment finally came good at Musselburgh last time and is second choice ahead of Caramay.
