Forecasts

Eklat De Rire (2/1), Run Wild Fred (10/3), School Boy Hours (4/1), The Big Dog (4/1), Larquebuse (7/1), Stormy Judge (28/1), Lean Araig (125/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but the most persuasive one is for LARQUEBUSE who made a promising start to life over fences when a returning fifth at Naas and is expected to take a big step forward now upped in trip. School Boy Hours rates a big threat if shrugging off a below-par run here last time while chasing-newcomer Eklat de Rire shouldn't be underestimated on his comeback.
