Forecasts

King Of The Gauls (13/8), Rugger Bugger (5/1), Preemptive Strike (6/1), Stanley Park (6/1), Eddie The Mover (7/1), Tribute To You (15/2), Mr Henley (8/1), Dynalley (9/1), Rafa's Boy (12/1), Mescal (12/1), Andy Coogle (20/1)

RUGGER BUGGER is running well enough to merit close consideration but it is competitive. Stanley Park looks second best on balance, while Eddie The Mover could go well too.
