Forecasts

Blind Beggar (8/15), Touchwood (10/3), Mayelf (11/2), Morty (16/1), Vermilion Dancer (25/1), Calcutta Dream (50/1), Sleight (50/1), The Saddle Rock (100/1), Gleaming Maize (100/1), Brazen Lady (200/1)

BLIND BEGGAR is overdue a first win and has been found a good opportunity here. His second at Ripon earlier in the month looks good enough form to win this and he's both proven at this track and on the likely ground. Touchwood has a similar profile and he'll be a significant danger. Mayelf makes most appeal of the remainder.
