Forecasts

Findthetime (5/4), Rocky Man (11/4), Vintage Fizz (7/2), Rafferty's Return (9/2), Ashington (10/1), Royle Steel (12/1), Red Force One (20/1), Collooney (28/1), Sheriff Garrett (33/1), Cousu Main (50/1)

Several of these have a point to prove for one reason or another but ROCKY MAN and Findthetime are obvious exceptions. The latter is not passed over at all lightly given the promise he showed last season, not least when winning a Class 2 handicap at this course. However, Rocky Man makes the switch to handicap company off what will probably turn out to be a lenient mark and he looks the one to be on. Vintage Fizz is best of the rest.
