Nothing Is Forever won in this grade at Wincanton last month, when Miss Fortywinks was only fifth, but is 9lb higher here. Applause For Amy also won at that course last month and should again beat sixth Moratab but this race may be ripe for an upset. John Spearing has been getting plenty of winners on the Flat and TABLE BLUFF ran his best race so far over timber when third at Worcester last time. He's only a pound higher here so should take all the beating. Sadma is probably better than he's shown so far while Acapulco Bay could get in the mix if in the mood.
