Forecasts

Rocky Hill (15/8), Another Lord (7/2), Shillanavogy (4/1), Silver Atom (5/1), Whynotnowroy (11/2), Ceejaybe (8/1), Black Occ (17/2), Crystal Mer (17/2), Buck Of Maine (20/1), Ionity (25/1), Minella Majestic (33/1), Princess Of Mercia (100/1), Sally's Girl (150/1)

Verdict

ROCKY HILL and Silver Atom were second and fourth respectively in the C&D handicap won by Another Lord last month but both have very realistic claims of reversing the placings with that rival this time. Ready preference is for the unexposed Rocky Hill, who was returning from over a year off that day and he is open to further improvement. Buck of Maine is one to note in the betting on his handicap debut.

  1. ROCKY HILL
  2. SILVER ATOM (IRE)
  3. ANOTHER LORD (IRE)
