Forecasts

Keldeo (5/2), Jojo Rabbit (10/3), Rock Of England (7/2), Alpine Girl (5/1), Call To Action (8/1), General Assembly (14/1), Toomuchforme (20/1), Invincible Crown (33/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these but ROCK OF ENGLAND rates the pick of the weights on the back of his Newcastle victory so edges the vote from Jojo Rabbit who should prove suited by returning to the scene of his recent C&D success. In-form duo General Assembly and Keldeo complete the shortlist.
