Forecasts

Magic Tricks (6/5), Churchstonewarrior (9/2), Cavallino (5/1), How You Keeping (9/1), Tucson Train (10/1), The Big Story (12/1), Joseph Conrad (12/1), Ever Present (25/1), Hedgeaway (25/1), Silk Hat (28/1), Filey Bay (80/1), Charlie Bee (80/1), Villain Thomas (100/1), Montrose Ave (100/1), Missy Eliot (125/1), Weston Road (200/1)

MAGIC TRICKS makes plenty of appeal on paper, being a brother to the very smart hurdler Abacadabras, so he's taken to make a successful start under Rules (runner-up sole outing in points). Cavallino and The Big Story are other likely types in what looks potentially a very informative bumper.
