Forecasts

Trusty Rusty (5/2), Storm Melody (11/4), Suwaan (9/2), Rockesbury (7/1), Katsonis (8/1), Mjolnir (17/2), Castlehill Retreat (11/1), Ancient Astronaut (16/1), Global Destination (16/1)

Verdict

TRUSTY RUSTY didn't enjoy the rub of the green over C&D last time and has slipped to a very handy mark so gets the nod in a tightly-knit sprint. Rockesbury also wasn't seen to best effect when poorly drawn here so this former course winner can have a say too. Storm Melody is another well-weighted contender to consider if taking to tapeta.

  1. TRUSTY RUSTY
  2. ROCKESBURY
  3. STORM MELODY
