Forecasts

Elashgar (2/1), Starakova (10/3), Gloriola (9/2), Here Comes Louie (6/1), Ernie Mccrew (6/1), Alice's Influence (10/1), Thomas Tallis (11/1), Gilleangirl (25/1), Speckled Brown (50/1)

ELASHGAR ran well in a race that has already been franked at Thirsk on his latest outing and is fancied to notch a second success upped to a trip that should suit. Gloriola and Here Comes Louie rate the principal threats.
