Forecasts

Rexem (5/4), Themanintheboots (13/8), Henhouse (15/2), Glen Na Tara (9/1), Duclair Darling (12/1), Desertmore House (16/1), Peekaboo Lily (66/1), Shanfilly (100/1), Every Ocean (125/1)

THEMANINTHEBOOTS looks ready for this sort of trip kept to a bumper and a repeat of his debut form will more than likely suffice. Rexem is the obvious threat.
