Forecasts
Pic Roc (3/1), Victtorino (5/1), Johnnywho (6/1), Blow Your Wad (7/1), Transmission (17/2), Deep Cave (10/1), Hyland (10/1), Leave Of Absence (11/1), Henry's Friend (18/1), Threeunderthrufive (18/1), Ga Law (28/1), Two For Gold (40/1)
Given the mitigating circumstances PIC ROC did extremely well to get as close as he did when fifth in what is traditionally one of the most competitive handicap chases of the season at Newbury three weeks ago. On that evidence, he surely has a pot such as this in him off his present mark. There won't be much margin for error, though, with Johnnywho greatly respected back at his optimum trip, while Victtorino, who has won the last two renewals of this, and Henry's Friend are also feared.
