Forecasts

Stoney Rover (15/8), The Paddy Pie (11/4), Bollin Ace (3/1), Fiddlers Bow (10/1), Paddling (16/1), Ard Chros (18/1), Kamil (22/1), Chasma (25/1)

The most obvious candidate is the top-weight Bollin Ace who has acquitted himself splendidly (holds The Paddy Pie) since returning from a 22-month absence. However, in pursuit of a better-priced each-way alternative we'll chance our arm on the likeable STONEY ROVER. After a promising start to his racing career for the Galashiels trainer Katie Scott he failed to fulfil his obvious potential. It's entirely possible that a simple change of scenery could have done him the world of good, and therefore he receives the tentative vote (over his optimum trip) on debut for Sandy Thomson.
