Forecasts

Antunes (11/8), Lieutenant Rocco (10/3), I Can't Explain (7/2), Chooseyourweapon (11/2), Mr One More (14/1)

Probably best to concentrate on ANTUNES and Lieutenant Rocco, given that Chooseyourweapon, I Can't Explain and Mr One More are all returning from lengthy spells on the sidelines. Lieutenant Rocco is arguably the greater long-term prospect, but Dan Skelton's charge jumped with aplomb when runner-up on debut in this sphere at Bangor and can put that experience to good use here.
