Forecasts

Elladora (7/2), Macho Pride (7/2), Basholo (11/2), Sam's Call (9/1), Jkr Cobbler (9/1), The Gay Blade (10/1), Bonito Cavalo (11/1), Banner Road (11/1), Earn Your Stripes (12/1), Stronsay (28/1), Aikido (33/1), Henery Hawk (33/1)

MACHO PRIDE is unexposed for his current yard and well treated on old form, so he's worth a chance to build on a good second at Newcastle by going one better. Jkr Cobbler is a danger and Basholo deserves respect on the back of a solid showing at Ayr.
