Forecasts

Ottoman Style (2/1), Toss Again (7/2), The Flier Begley (9/2), Monrocher (5/1), So Original (7/1), Boulon Trou (7/1), Custers Mistake (15/2), Ballybaun Star (10/1), Trim To Milan (14/1), Moving Minds (20/1), Kingfisher Lane (25/1), I Am Bella (28/1), Social Distancing (33/1), Absberg (50/1), Arabella Star (200/1)

OTTOMAN STYLE has gone with some promise to make the frame on all his three outings thus far and is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Gordon Elliott's hurdling-debutant Boulon Trou. The Flier Begley has the form to play a part too if back on song after a below-par effort here last time.
