Forecasts

Shantou Rock (6/4), Cyrname (7/4), Tommy Silver (9/4), The Unit (3/1), Kostaquarta (100/1)

Verdict

SHANTOU ROCK may have gone off too fast at Warwick and he paid the price late on but Dan Skelton's charge is a particularly bold jumper for a novice and he could really put the pressure on his rivals from the front here and this flat track should play to his strengths. Tommy Silver is Sam Twiston-Davies' choice of the Nicholls duo and he could prove the toughest rival for the selection. A flat 2m may not be ideal for The Unit but if Shantou Rock goes too hard again he could be the one to pick up the pieces.
  1. Shantou Rock
  2. Tommy Silver
  3. The Unit
