Forecasts

Harlem Soul (6/4), Brilliant Light (9/2), Dark Jedi (5/1), Brasca (5/1), Roseabad (7/1), Dash Of Spice (10/1)

BRASCA should find this easier than his recent assignments at Chester and Newcastle in fiercely competitive big field handicaps. The drop back to 12f should suit him and he makes most appeal. Roseabad ran well at Goodwood last time and she looks to be a big threat. Harlem Soul won over C&D last month and has to be considered too.
