Forecasts

Highland Rocker (1/2), Overthink (5/2), Can Can Girl (10/1), Aletoile (16/1), Silver Gunn (18/1)

This looks a fine opportunity for HIGHLAND ROCKER to open his account at the third attempt having shown fairly useful form in a couple of starts on the all-weather so far. He remains open to improvement and should be tough to beat with a run under his belt. Overthink looks a noteworthy newcomer on paper for Mark Johnston and gets the vote for second, ahead of Aletoile.
