Forecasts

Thunder Flash (6/5), Scofflaw (15/2), Engrave (8/1), Lothario (17/2), Feldspar (12/1), Pink Jazz (12/1), Monsaraz (14/1), Muraaqeb (16/1), Flippance (28/1), Settle Petal (33/1), Melabi (50/1)

Ian Williams won this race in 2018 and has a good chance of landing it again with THUNDER FLASH who is building up a pretty solid record on AW. A market move for Feldspar on his first outing for new trainer Keith Dalgleish would make him of plenty of interest. Pink Jazz has a more solid record than most of these and also makes the shortlist.
