Forecasts

Jen's Fella (1/1), Gold Standard (4/1), Amanto (8/1), Villanelle (9/1), Highway One (10/1), Master Burbidge (10/1), Jersey Grey (10/1), Briac (20/1), Milldean Felix (40/1), Ezzrah (50/1), Argent Bleu (125/1), Bazooka (200/1)

GOLD STANDARD stayed on well to lead close home here last week so may be able to defy a penalty over this longer trip. Master Burbridge has been in good form over fences and is respected back in this sphere, while Jen's Fella ran well at Newcastle recently and remains unexposed.
