Forecasts

Ekayburg (6/5), Laughing Luis (7/4), Early Learner (6/1), Eyreshill (6/1), Burning Bright (10/1)

EKAYBURG proved a disappointment on debut for this yard but he looks to have been found a nice race to open his hurdling account. The selection showed good form in bumpers in France and can get the better of Laughing Luis who can put a below par effort last time out behind him to claim second ahead of Eyreshill who can claim third.
