Forecasts

Brunel Charm (4/1), Above It All (9/2), Op It (5/1), Touchwood (6/1), Under The Twilight (13/2), Dancinginthewoods (7/1), Blue Flame (15/2), Mistrix (17/2), Havana Goldrush (10/1), Melodramatica (11/1), Cashew (12/1), Dashing Dick (28/1), Kodias Sangarius (40/1)

This looks a pretty strong race for the grade with ABOVE IT ALL the most appealing option having put 6 lengths between himself and the rest when chasing home an improver at Ffos Las 17 days ago. The return to 7f will suit Under The Twilight so he's a threat, as is Touchwood.
