Forecasts

Man Of Steel (11/8), Triangular (10/3), Boardwalk Empire (6/1), Ballytober (9/1), Roalco De Farges (9/1), Duke Of Lucca (12/1), Lookslikerainted (33/1), Young Cheddar (33/1), Long Strand (66/1)

MAN OF STEEL looks like a leading contender on his form under rules and he would appear to have a good relationship with this jockey, with the pair having won their last three starts together. Roalco De Farges would be a danger if he returned to anything like his best and any money for him could prove significant while similar could be said for Triangular who was a respectable fourth at this course when last seen and may be able to build on that.
