Forecasts

Ravenglass (10/3), Clipsham La Habana (7/2), Roach Power (6/1), Create (7/1), Marchetti (15/2), Never Dream (15/2), Ashford Hill (9/1), Too Much Trevor (10/1), American Rose (10/1), Romanovich (11/1), Eye Of The Water (14/1), Twitch (20/1), Baynoona (25/1), King's Gem (40/1), Max Stripes (50/1)

This looks wide open so it could be worth siding with TWITCH to capitalise on a reduced mark having not enjoyed the rub of the green when down the field at Chelmsford last time out. Ravenglass is next on the list on the back of a recent C&D success from Too Much Trevor, with Ashford Hill, Roach Power and Clipsham La Habana all in the picture too.
