Forecasts

Stoney Rover (15/8), The Paddy Pie (11/4), Bollin Ace (3/1), Fiddlers Bow (10/1), Paddling (16/1), Ard Chros (18/1), Kamil (22/1), Chasma (25/1)

Verdict

The most obvious candidate is the top-weight Bollin Ace who has acquitted himself splendidly (holds The Paddy Pie) since returning from a 22-month absence. However, in pursuit of a better-priced each-way alternative we'll chance our arm on the likeable STONEY ROVER. After a promising start to his racing career for the Galashiels trainer Katie Scott he failed to fulfil his obvious potential. It's entirely possible that a simple change of scenery could have done him the world of good, and therefore he receives the tentative vote (over his optimum trip) on debut for Sandy Thomson.
  1. Stoney Rover
  2. Bollin Ace
  3. The Paddy Pie
