Forecasts

Minellatillmorning (15/8), Fly Du Charmil (9/4), Dark Invader (7/2), Heluvagood (5/1), Iniesta (16/1)

MINELLATILLMORNING has really grabbed the initiative since going handicapping and comes here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Taunton and Fontwell. This will be tougher from the increased mark, but it is certainly not insurmountable and there should be more to come. Fly Du Charmil was a winner last time at Ffos Las and can go well up 4lb and over a longer distance while Dark Invader is also fancied to make a decent fist of things now going back up in journey.
