17/2

Forecasts

Young Fire (5/4), Rock Diva (6/1), Shaws Phoenix (6/1), Operation Gimcrack (15/2), Embarked (17/2), Copper And Five (11/1), Dash Power (11/1), Chadleeny (11/1), Evelyn's Phoenix (18/1), Almutraf (22/1), What A Recovery (66/1)

Competitive fare but ROCK DIVA hasn't been with Jennie Candlish long and having shaped well at Beverley a fortnight ago, she could be the answer. Operation Gimcrack and Almutraf are just a couple of potential threats.
