Forecasts

Secret Investor (5/4), Criq Rock (9/4), Oakley Hall (5/2), Always On The Ball (25/1), Over The Arch (66/1)

Criq Rock has had a few chances by now but should still be capable of capturing a race of this nature at some point, while Oakley Hall was slightly disappointing when narrow odds-on last time out but is better than he showed there. But SECRET INVESTOR carries a penalty for winning at Stratford last time in what probably wasn't the strongest race, but he shaped as if there should be further improvement to come there and could be capable of overcoming the extra weight.
