Forecasts

Athers (11/4), Wink Of An Eye (4/1), Rushmore (9/2), Scots Gold (15/2), Codebook (15/2), Eagle One (9/1), Wholelotafun (16/1), Night Eagle (20/1), Fairy Cakes (28/1), Soyuz (33/1), Night Of Hope (40/1), Thistleton (50/1), Way Of Life (100/1)

RUSHMORE caught the eye making his handicap debut at Windsor and remains with potential going up in trip. Fellow well-bred sorts Athers and Wink of An Eye are likely improvers now handicapping/up in trip and they head the dangers.
