Forecasts
Rhaegar (1/1), Dashing Perk (6/4), Criq Rock (4/1), Big Time Frank (100/1)
Though he hasn't been able to get his head in front over hurdles yet, this could be an excellent chance for CRIQ ROCK to get off the mark. Having finished second to promising horses such as Topofthegame and Thomas Campbell, he can overcome an absence here to score against some rivals who are yet to seriously convince. Rhaegar is easily the best of the rest and retains plenty of potential to improve after dead-heating in a novice event at Chepstow last time, and while it would be a big surprise if neither of these two won Dashing Perk is comfortably third best.
