Forecasts

L'Eagle Aid (11/8), Letmebetheboss (9/2), Young Endless (5/1), Different Drum (7/1), Sea Master (17/2), Albert Lasker (9/1), Legacy Power (10/1), Night Horn (25/1)

L'EAGLE AID could strip fitter for a sound reappearance run at Doncaster and is taken to make light of top weight, perhaps at the main expense of Albert Lasker, who has finished second and first in his 2 handicap starts at this venue. Letmebetheboss had an excuse on his course reappearance and may prove best of the rest.
