Forecasts

Angel Gabriel (10/3), Rousing Encore (7/2), Art Lover (4/1), Storm Force (6/1), So Darn Hot (15/2), Dandy Magic (8/1), Blue Prince (10/1), Figjam (12/1), Miraculous (12/1), Proof (14/1), Black Star Boy (18/1), Golden Long (22/1), Zain Primus (25/1), Cape Ashizuri (25/1)

No shortage of chances in a good quality sprint handicap but 3-y-o ANGEL GABRIEL marked himself out as one to keep on side this autumn when making all at Windsor 4 weeks ago and a 4 lb rise in the weights doesn't look prohibitive with forecast conditions firmly in his favour. Art Lover has shaped well on all 4 starts this season and is a threat, along with Ayr Bronze Cup second Rousing Encore. Storm Force and Golden Long, if handling conditions are others to factor in.
