Forecasts

Poet's Magic (5/1), Winnetka (11/2), Rusper's Lad (11/2), Swissal (6/1), Al Mansoura (6/1), Hachert (8/1), Pour La Victoire (10/1), Bint Dandy (11/1), Cool To Be A Cat (12/1), Cindy Looper (16/1)

POET'S MAGIC sets the standard on her recent form and looks to have been found a decent opportunity to shed her maiden tag. Cool To Be A Cat is interesting as he returns from a break after wind surgery, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Swissal is a consistent type who holds an each-way chance.
