Forecasts

Invincible Melody (4/1), Ornately (4/1), Azuinthejungle (9/2), Blewburton (5/1), Token Gesture (11/2), Son Of Wind (10/1), Queen Of The Roses (10/1), Nordic Games (11/1), Takteek (18/1), The Thames Lady (50/1)

AZUINTHEJUNGLE runs off the same mark as when scoring comfortably at Beverley last week and should take a bit of stopping if he can carry that form over to the polytrack. Ralph Beckett's Invincible Melody is second choice ahead of Blewburton, who arrives on the back of successive runner-up efforts on AW.
