Forecasts

King Pellinor (5/4), Trossachs (9/2), Elite Trooper Grey (5/1), Hasankey (6/1), Bitcoin Boy (8/1), Franklyn (10/1), Metal Man (20/1), Golden Cliffs (25/1), Mutadarrib (28/1), Hattie Amarin (33/1), Lalipour (50/1), Rare Pearl (100/1), Jess's Corner (100/1), Colonel Lesley (100/1), Right Approval (100/1)

TROSSACHS has shown good form in maiden company so far and he can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking in this extended 1m3f contest. King Pellinor is returning from a break and he can claim second for a leading stable while third place can go the way of Hasankey who finished runner-up on his most recent start.
