Forecasts

Curious Rover (4/5), Wen Moon (2/1), Cover Point (4/1), Rock Melody (11/2), Spring Is Sprung (7/1), Eeh Bah Gum (16/1)

CURIOUS ROVER is able to race off the same mark as when an excellent recent runner-up at York a week ago so gets the verdict. The progressive Cover Point heads the list of dangers with in-form duo Wen Moon and Rock Melody also in the picture.
