Forecasts

Seven Questions (11/10), Fighting Wren (10/3), Spanish Rock (4/1), Jersey Rocs (6/1), Stash The Cash (20/1), Barnaby (28/1), Goldmine Girl (33/1), Chillout Charlie (40/1), Forever Eighteen (80/1), The Hat Lady (80/1)

Verdict

The market could prove highly revealing here but George Scott's improving SEVEN QUESTIONS is taken to defy a 7 lb penalty for his recent Yarmouth victory with that form having been franked. Newcomers Jersey Rocs (second choice) and Spanish Rock both offer plenty of potential though and are in good hands too so demand plenty of respect, especially if the betting speaks in their favour.
