Forecasts

Pottlerath (8/11), Inishbiggle (9/4), Dragon Rock (4/1)

POTTLERATH takes on a couple of unknown quantities to some extent in chase-newcomer Dragon Rock and lightly-raced 8-y-o Inishbiggle but he was always holding on when supplementing his Worcester win at Warwick. He's therefore very much the percentage call in his hat-trick bid.
