Forecasts

Tide Times (5/4), Bobhopeornohope (2/1), Head To The Stars (6/1), Rocco (10/1), Real Steel (11/1)

Verdict

REAL STEEL's recent form figures admittedly make for grim reading but, competitive though this five-runner affair is, it would be one of the least taxing assignments that he has faced to date and the handicapper has given him a real chance. The first-time cheekpieces and drying ground here are other potentially positive factors and, all things considered, he is worth chancing. Recent C&D winner Tide Times and Bobhopeornohope are feared most in that order of preference.
