Forecasts

Adam's Ale (3/1), Twizzell (3/1), Sandra's Secret (7/1), Bashiba (9/1), Union Rose (9/1), Casterbridge (10/1), Signore Piccolo (11/1), Foxtrot Knight (11/1), Coolfitch (14/1), Black Grass (18/1), Invincible Ridge (25/1)

Competitive stuff here with several having serious claims. Union Rose is the class horse in the field and gets both a drop in the weights and grade at the same time. If he could produce anything like his ability then he would probably win, though the yard could be in better form. Bashiba, Foxtrot Knight and Invincible Ridge are others who should be thereabouts, while Adam's Ale is much respected under a penalty. However, it could be worth siding with the three-year-old TWIZZELL here. She clearly has ability and is heading in the right direction, so she might be able to take advantage of her allowance.
