Forecasts

Saunton Surf (3/1), Cadell (10/3), Delilah Bucks (5/1), Take It Upstairs (8/1), Hazels Delight (8/1), Douglas Longbottom (17/2), Wottinger (18/1), Penniless (22/1), Fly Awhile Johnny (25/1), Grandpa's Folly (25/1), Achtung Baby (25/1), Roseburg (28/1), Supreme Johnson (33/1), It's Unbelievable (50/1)

All bar one are making their debut under Rules so the market should offer plenty of clues, with CADELL the obvious place to start having won both his outings between the flags. Saunton Surf and Hazels Delight were both successful on their sole outings in points and are other likely types.
