Forecasts

Lenny's Spirit (7/4), Al Qaasim (11/4), Capricious (9/2), Power On (11/1), Eternal Light (14/1), Doonbeg Farmer (14/1), Agent Of Fortune (18/1), Red Jasper (25/1), Hardy (33/1), Are You Able (50/1), Rivas Rob Roy (50/1), Alba De Tormes (66/1), Chetan (100/1)

POWER ON hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green of late and has slipped to a good mark so is worth siding with to make it a third AW win. Handicap debutante Eternal Light is feared most now she steps back in trip with the well-weighted Lenny's Spirit another in the mix in a very open handicap.
