5/2

On a hat-trick after 7f wins in the mud at Leicester and Redcar in recent weeks. Just as good over this trip and a penalty may not prevent him completing a hat-trick in his current mood.

Forecasts

Temper Trap (5/2), Johnjay (7/2), Pearl Sands (9/2), Dream Pirate (13/2), Genta (10/1), Likleman (12/1), Daisy Roots (14/1), Strive (14/1), Cuban Fiesta (16/1), Hurricane Power (18/1), Ya Rayah (18/1), Gunsight (22/1), Ring Of Gold (33/1), Supernova Steps (100/1)

TEMPER TRAP looks good for a hat-trick in his current rich vein of form. Johnjay returned from a break with a decent fourth at Bath at the start of this month and is second choice ahead of Brian Ellison's Pearl Sands, who goes well in the mud.
