Forecasts

Rock On Tommy (6/4), Ten Past Midnight (3/1), Ambassador (6/1), Bentham (7/1), Greatness Awaits (8/1), Thorpeness (16/1), Lightening Gesture (20/1), Naasik (40/1), Ascot Day (66/1), Kracquer (80/1), Andonno (200/1)

ROCK ON TOMMY escapes a penalty for last week's success in a conditional jockeys' event and can complete a quickfire C&D hat-trick. Ten Past Midnight chased home the selection last week and can fill the forecast spot again ahead of Ambassador, who has changed yards since his C&D win earlier in the month.
