Forecasts

Freak Encounter (10/3), Jonny Garlic (11/2), Antiquity (6/1), Rumseg (7/1), Specified (15/2), Majestic Heights (17/2), Sandhill Dancer (10/1), Made The Cut (12/1), Herkeios (16/1), Lady Diesel (16/1), Take The Boat (16/1), Fiery Angel (25/1)

SPECIFIED didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Chelmsford last time out and can capitalise on a lenient mark now to get off the mark. Majestic Heights is feared most on the back of a good third in the same race, with C&D winner Freak Encounter, Made The Cut and Rumseg also in the mix.
