Forecasts

Touchwood (6/4), Invincible Gift (7/4), Mutahamisa (7/2), Elvic (11/1), Diffident Spirit (12/1), Lowndes Square (14/1), Sovereign Slipper (14/1), The Vegas Raider (100/1), Joli's Legacy (150/1)

Archie Watson usually has his 2-y-o newcomers well forward, so there's every chance the well-bred INVINCIBLE GIFT could be up to the job on debut. Touchwood looked unlucky not to win at Lingfield and is open to further improvement, while Elvic is another debutante to note.
