Forecasts

Landrake (10/11), Tenzing (3/1), Rexem (7/2), Sir Jimmy Mac (14/1), Langdale Lane (16/1), Lighthouse Hill (25/1), Worth A Look (40/1), Gorthill (80/1), Every River (125/1), Tiktoktyson (150/1)

LANDRAKE's second at Navan recently is comfortably the best piece of Rules form on show and he's well fancied to go one better. Tenzing took a step forward last time and it's hard to rule out further progress, while Rexem has landed a point on his only outing to date, so they're both feasible threats.
