Forecasts

El Barra (4/7), Stranger Danger (4/1), Fourneux D'isanka (6/1), Argentoratum (17/2), Chosen Flyer (11/1), Lispendense (16/1), Stowaway John (50/1), Lizlucky (66/1), Weston Road (200/1)

EL BARRA has clearly had an issue or two given he's been absent after changing hands for £280,000 following a runner-up effort in a point back in 2018 but he couldn't be in better hands and is bound to be well prepared for this Rules debut. Stranger Danger is feared most for Gordon Elliott.
