Forecasts

El Borracho (10/11), Texard (2/1), Joke Dancer (4/1), Slanelough (8/1)

EL BORRACHO enhanced his excellent strike rate over fences when scoring comfortably at Warwick 3 weeks ago and a 5 lb higher mark may not prevent another bold showing on that evidence. Texard, back down in trip/grade, may emerge as the chief threat.
