Forecasts

John Leeper (5/4), Euchen Glen (11/4), Fox Tal (4/1), Father Of Jazz (15/2), Gloucestershire (10/1)

Verdict

JOHN LEEPER tends to take a bit of a grip so the drop back to 1¼m may help until he learns to settle better and he's selected to make it 3 wins from only 5 career starts. Brigadier Gerard winner Euchen Glen is the obvious danger, although it will be fascinating to see how much strength in the betting there is behind Gloucestershire given his stable also houses the very smart 3-y-o Lone Eagle.
