Forecasts
Ubla (9/4), Pepys (9/4), Ronnie The Rooster (7/2), Frozen Lake (9/1), Rising Sunshine (14/1), Mime Dance (16/1), Prince of Time (20/1), Gorham's Cave (25/1), Gulland Rock (25/1), Mistry (50/1), Rapid Rise (66/1), Tisa River (100/1)
A fairly modest affair in which it may well be worth watching the market on three-time C&D winner Gulland Rock who has now slipped to a more forgiving mark. With Silvestre De Sousa booked for Ubla a prominent display is expected especially as he’s back on the AW a surface that suits him better. It won’t be a surprise to see Ronnie The Rooster show more for his new yard now they are getting the measure of him while Pepys can’t be left out of the picture although he’ll find it tougher back in a handicap. RISING SUNSHINE makes the most appeal especially with David Egan taking over in the saddle and dropping back to 7f although he will need a strongly run contest.
