Forecasts

Ferns Lock (8/15), Romeo Magico (10/3), Wowsham (6/1), Hardline (25/1), Stranger Danger (25/1), Nice To Meet (25/1), Boss Robin (33/1), Grange Island (33/1), Maid On The Moon (50/1), Electric Dreamer (100/1)

Verdict

FERNS LOCK is the clear pick on hunter form and a reproduction of the form that saw him finish second at Down Royal last time should be enough for him to go one better here. Nice To Meet might prove the main danger although Wowsham shouldn't be dismissed on the back of a solid effort.
