Forecasts

Twayblade (7/4), South Dakota Sioux (9/2), Quinault (11/2), Missing You (7/1), Rhythmic Acclaim (15/2), Smasher (8/1), Sumac (9/1), Lashes (50/1), Carranita (125/1), Ritarocks (200/1)

TWAYBLADE reacted positively to a switch to front-running tactics at Yarmouth last time and might be able to dominate here from a handy low stall. Quinault is a likely improver now switching to handicap company for the Stuart Williams yard and is second choice ahead of Sumac, who was comfortably held by the selection at Yarmouth but can fare better back on AW with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.
