Southwell winner twice at the start of the year but he's not as good (or consistent) on turf as shown by his last couple of efforts.

Island Flame¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

Has won on turf but looks a better vehicle on the AW as a whole and largely disappointing this season, but dangerous to write-off.

Forecasts

Maori Bob (6/4), Royal Reserve (3/1), Alphabetical Order (8/1), Wotabreeze (9/1), Itlaaq (10/1), Cornborough (11/1), Island Flame (14/1), Mysterial (14/1), Hayward Field (20/1), Marmion (20/1), Samtu (40/1)

Westwood stalwart, Mysterial will take the field along here attempting to make all, with Wotabreeze and Samtu in behind. Maori Bob, genuine, may take some stopping in this form and Cornborough can grab a place, but preference is for, ROYAL RESERVE, who can use the early pace of the race to ponce late.
