Forecasts

Lunanova (1/1), Typeface (7/2), Al Shabab (15/2), Eye Of The Water (9/1), Port Noir (12/1), Bobby Dassler (12/1), Island Ocean (18/1), Blue Point Express (25/1), Alyara (40/1), Invincible Storm (40/1)

A few with chances but LUNANOVA advanced her form on her first run for her new handler when a comfortable winner at Brighton and can make light of a penalty to complete a hat-trick. Recent C&D winner Typeface rates the obvious threat now going handicapping with Al Shabab, Bobby Dassler and Island Ocean all in the mix too.
