Forecasts

Nothin To Ask (1/1), East Street (7/2), Rocky Lake (4/1), Willaston (9/2), Universal Folly (5/1)

Some potential on show here but it's still hard to side against NOTHIN TO ASK who created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking over fences at Chepstow and can make light of an 8 lb rise in the weights. Rocky Lake also has better days ahead of him in this sphere and is next on the list ahead of fencing-newcomers Universal Folly and East Street.
