Forecasts

Royal Eagle (9/4), New Year Honours (7/2), The Banger Doyle (5/1), Busselton (5/1), Lord Erskine (11/2), Golden Temple (17/2), Barnacullia (10/1), Nostra Casa (11/1), Influential Lady (16/1), Teed Up (22/1), Isle Of Sark (40/1), Mt Leinster (40/1)

A bunch to view positively on the whole with LORD ERSKINE just about the most persuasive option on the back of a career-best over hurdles last time having shaped well on the level prior to that. Busselton is unexposed as a stayer so is a threat, along with Teed Up down in class.
