8/1

Forecasts

El Barra (1/4), Soviet Pimpernel (9/2), Whiskeywealth (8/1), That'll Be The Day (40/1), Hereditary Rule (66/1), Tipping Away (100/1), He Fitz In (125/1)

A low-mileage, useful hurdler, EL BARRA has made a bright start over fences, confirming debut promise in this sphere when third behind Saint Sam at Fairyhouse 4 weeks ago, and this looks a good opening for him to get off the mark. Soviet Pimpernal is narrowly preferred to Whiskeywealth for the forecast.
