Forecasts

Search For Glory (1/9), Alvarez Eclipse (7/1), Magic Sadler (16/1), El Phenomeno (28/1), Iron Allen (40/1), Reversal (66/1), Leva Tip (100/1)

A gilt-edged opportunity for SEARCH FOR GLORY, who was contesting graded events earlier in the year and Gordon Elliott's 6-y-o won't get a better opportunity to open his account over hurdles. Alvarez Eclipse and newcomer El Phenomeno can battle out the forecast spot.
