Forecasts

Maghaweer (13/8), Hateya (4/1), Nicklaus (9/2), Han Solo Berger (9/1), U S S Missouri (10/1), Electric Landlady (12/1), Breaking Records (16/1), Deadly Accurate (16/1), Bubble And Squeak (16/1), Livingstones Quest (33/1), Canimar (33/1)

MAGHAWEER ended last season with a novice stakes victory and he can make a winning handicap debut in this contest. The forecast good-to-firm ground is in the selections favour and he is taken to defy top weight to get the better of recent winner Hateya who was a winner on the AW recently and carries a penalty in this. Of the remainder Nicklaus was a winner on his final start of last season and can claim third on his return to 7f in this.
