BETTING FORECAST:

5-6 Coal Stock (IRE), 7-2 El Paso Wood (FR), 11-2 Rostello (FR), 9-1 Steel Wave (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY:

COAL STOCK benefited no end from a return to front-running tactics to open his account over fences at Newton Abbot a fortnight ago and a 3lb rise in the weights may not be enough to prevent the follow up. El Paso Wood chased the selection home that day but Rostello is fancied to give the selection most to think about this time.
