Forecasts

Herbiers (15/8), Rock Legend (3/1), Valentino Dancer (4/1), Lord Of Cheshire (9/2), Koi Dodville (5/1), Pasvolsky (17/2), Peaked Too Soon (22/1), Applesandpierres (33/1)

Verdict

ROCK LEGEND didn't need to match his previous best when landing cramped odds on return at Newcastle last month yet he's just the type to step forward now handicapping from what rates an appealing opening mark and earns the vote to come out on top. Pasvolsky, for the very much in-form Chris Gordon team, is feared back over hurdles, as is Lord of Cheshire who arrives in search of the hat-trick.
