Forecasts

Touchwood (2/1), Alablaq (11/4), Angel Amadea (5/1), Mercurius Power (8/1), Afta Party (17/2), Ebtsama (12/1), Dourado (14/1), Eton College (20/1)

Verdict

TOUCHWOOD arrives in top form and is in a weaker grade of handicap than he's competed in previously this season, so he gets the nod ahead of Afta Party, who finished to good effect when runner-up at Ayr a month ago. Angel Amadea also makes appeal.

  1. TOUCHWOOD (IRE)
