Forecasts

Paddocks Lounge (2/1), Rock Of Leon (7/2), Great Link (5/1), Howaboutnever (6/1), Scales (7/1), Thunder Pass (9/1), Smart Catch (25/1)

Rock Of Leon is the pick of these on ability but serious doubts hang over his ability to get around without hazard and so he is overlooked. Howaboutnever promised plenty with his Newbury success in March but has routinely failed to deliver while Paddocks Lounge is likely to make his bid from the front. GREAT LINK has run with some promise in similar events recently and can take this off his diminishing mark. 1. Great Link 2. Paddocks Lounge 3. Rock Of Leon
