Forecasts

Gazette Bourgeoise (5/6), Eureka Creek (9/4), Credo (7/2), Glancing Glory (9/1), Our Bill's Aunt (12/1), Brandisova (16/1), Letthetruthbeknown (25/1), Castkitello (33/1), Don't Rightly Know (50/1), Scattercash (50/1), Havanella (100/1)

EUREKA CREEK made an encouraging Rules debut when runner-up to a good prospect at Leicester last month, a performance backed up by the clock, so she's selected to go one better here. Credo and the likeable Gazette Bourgeoise are considered the main threats, with Our Bill's Aunt pick of the newcomers before market clues.
