Forecasts

Steel An Icon (6/5), Suns Up Guns Up (11/4), Teemlucky (13/2), Stormingin (9/1), Gravity Wave (14/1), Cinzento (14/1), Percy's Prince (50/1)

STEEL AN ICON had a bit in hand when completing a double at Lingfield 9 days ago and she's well up to completing a hat-trick in what looks a weak affair on paper. Cinzento and Suns Up Guns Up are the main dangers.
