Forecasts

Twojayslad (5/2), Roc D'Apsis (3/1), Capard King (7/2), Opening Batsman (7/1), By The Boardwalk (8/1), According To Harry (12/1), Jonagold (18/1)

Several of these have been capable of better form in the past like Opening Batsman and Capard King and it would not surprise if either of those showed up well here. Roc D’Apsis deserves to win a race and generally runs well here but he can make mistakes and that hampers his chance while By The Boardwalk often promises more than he actually delivers. All of that leaves TWOJAYSLAD as the one to side with even though he was pulled-up last time out he still shaped well with the yard in good form he still looks to have plenty to offer over fences.
