Forecasts

Sixteen Letters (6/5), For Langy (6/5), Story Of Friends (11/4), Tom Barton (4/1), Famoso (10/1), Paudie (11/1)

This will most likely go the way of FOR LANGY, who already has the best Rules form over fences and probably has more to offer for his current stable. Story of Friends looks the main danger back under Rules, while Sixteen Letters could get involved if he takes a positive step from a respectable third at Leicester on debut for this yard.
