Forecasts

Brabusach (2/1), Flammable (10/3), Taswara (18/5), Dame Laura Knight (15/2), Portoro (9/1), Texas Boy (10/1), Marisitta (12/1), Native Melody (12/1), Two Plus Two (14/1), James Bradley (20/1), Finn Star (20/1), Biscoff Joe (25/1), Dream Frontier (28/1)

FLAMMABLE looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind so Archie Watson's Almanzor filly is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now upped in trip. John Butler's Portoro is another likely improver now venturing into handicap company and he is next on the list ahead of the reliable Brabusach.
