Forecasts

Roger Rarebit (15/8), Mad About Sally (6/1), Navegaon Gate (6/1), Unspeakable (13/2), Isle Of Aron (15/2), Fortune Cookie (11/1), Justshortofabubble (16/1), Lighthouse Mill (18/1), Gyllen (20/1), Bucks Dream (28/1), Black Lightning (33/1), Harde Fashion (40/1), Bertie's Bandana (66/1), Steady Away (66/1)

Verdict

ROGER RAREBIT again failed to get the job done despite travelling like much the best horse in the race at Lingfield last time, but he's clearly not short of ability and gets the nod here in the hope that the first-time cheekpieces help him deliver the knockout blow he has been promising. Navegaon Gate is second choice on the strength of his improved effort at Lingfield, while handicap debutant Unspeakable will be of interest if the market vibes are upbeat and Isle of Aron also merits respect.

  1. ROGER RAREBIT
  2. NAVEGAON GATE
  3. UNSPEAKABLE (IRE)
