Forecasts

Cleatus Poolaw (9/4), Beau Walking (3/1), Implicit (3/1), Walk Away Harry (7/2), Built By Ballymore (4/1), Native Speaker (9/2), Chiefs Kingdom (11/1), Asksarcaras (200/1), Granco Rof (200/1)

Verdict

CLEATUS POOLAW has been a promising second on both starts under Rules and can go one better now, although Implicit and Native Speaker have shown more than enough promise to suggest Gordon Elliott's charge won't get things all his own way.
