Forecasts

Brabusach (5/4), Ice Shadow (4/1), Lincoln Rockstar (13/2), Ocean Ridge (8/1), El Royale (11/1), Eltham Palace (11/1), Alhabor (12/1), Greek Siren (16/1), Gerrots (20/1), Gautrey (20/1), Coriano Ridge (22/1), Christines Angel (25/1), Clement Danes (28/1), Volenti (50/1), Royal Design (50/1)

BRABUSACH is taken to deservedly get his head in front having found just one too good on each of his last four starts. He didn't appear to have any problems with the slow surface at Salisbury last time and deserves a change of luck. Ice Shadow and Lincoln Rockstar can do battle for minor honours.
