Forecasts

B Associates (6/5), Voltaic (4/1), Neptune Legend (9/2), Shot Of Love (6/1), Voodoo Ray (12/1), Hawajes (22/1)

Tony Carroll looks to hold a strong hand and his NEPTUNE LEGEND, who advanced his form when scoring at Bath recently, looks the way to go. Stablemate and course winner Voltaic could prove the main danger if turning out again.
