Forecasts

Petit Tonnerre (3/1), Thunder Rock (10/3), Outlaw Peter (7/2), Corrigeen Rock (11/2), Tommy's Oscar (8/1), Frero Banbou (17/2), Arthur's Quay (28/1), A Wave Of The Sea (33/1), Magna Sam (33/1)

Verdict

The classy TOMMY'S OSCAR often keep better company than this and has looked better than ever over fences this season, so can defy top weight. Frero Banbou lost all chance with a bad blunder at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and remains of interest, while Corrigeen Rock surely has more to offer over this trip after his good second over C&D on New Year's Day.
