Forecasts

Del La Mar Rocket (2/1), Imperial Storm (11/4), Lupus Regem (9/2), Red Diamond (6/1), Moriko De Vassy (6/1), Tea For Free (11/1), Vintage Fizz (14/1), Master Gustav (16/1), Glebe Aalin (28/1), Rafferty's Return (50/1), Black Minster (66/1), One For Navigation (66/1), Ruler Ryde (250/1), That Ships Sailed (300/1)

DEL LA MAR ROCKET put his experience to good use in testing conditions when scoring at Exeter earlier this year, setting his stall out early and galloping on strongly as others faltered. He's taken to follow up with the promise of better to come. Imperial Storm and Doncaster-winner Moriko de Vassy are feared most, while Tea For Free and Red Diamond both look newcomers to note.
