Forecasts

Something Brewing (7/2), Mizen Master (4/1), Royal Flag (5/1), Cuckoo's Calling (11/2), Traditional Dancer (7/1), St Andrews (17/2), Forbidding (12/1), Pantomime (16/1), Salford Dream (25/1), Dubai Shen (40/1), Onda District (50/1), Psychology (80/1)

Top weight SOMETHING BREWING can register his second AW success by following up his recent Wolverhampton victory in this staying handicap. The selection handles this trip well and looks capable of defeating his rivals here with Mizen Master taken to finish runner-up having filled the same position at Lingfield earlier this month. Pantomime was a winner on turf when last in action on the Flat and she can take third.
