Forecasts

Final Countdown (5/2), Rock N'stones (11/4), The Pine Martin (7/2), Frightened Rabbit (6/1), Christmas In Usa (11/1), Bygones For Coins (11/1), Gunner Lindley (14/1)

Verdict

Frightened Rabbit experiences vastly different conditions here than when scoring at Newcastle and things might happen a bit too quickly for him. Final Countdown has claims if able to reproduce his latest effort, but he has struggled to string two performances together for a while and looks risky. The others all carried warning of their own including GUNNER LINDLEY, who is a very tentative suggestion because of his clear liking for this venue. Bygones For Coins and Christmas In USA are others who could pop up.
