Forecasts
I Can't Explain (5/6), Anemoi (9/2), Darlac (8/1), Mr Pumblechook (9/1), Jarveys Plate (12/1), Coolanly (12/1), Rocco (22/1), Supremely Lucky (25/1)
It's interesting that I CAN'T EXPLAIN is thrown in at the deep end here on just his second start after an impressive debut and he looks like a fascinating contender for a yard that have had four winners from their last seven runners. Jarveys Plate and Anemoi have room to improve in the jumping department and are expected to do so while Coolanly can't be disregarded, having already proven himself at this level.
