Forecasts

Maggie Thunder (3/1), Dee Sprinter (10/3), Woodrow (7/2), Countess Matilda (11/2), Dandy Spirit (6/1), Motbeq (10/1), Bellick (12/1), Polly Douglas (12/1), Blastofmagic (16/1), Zippity (18/1), Hodd's Girl (20/1), Canford Art (40/1), Nightflight (80/1), Hot Stuff (80/1)

A chance is taken on MOTBEQ, who has fewer miles on the clock than most of these. He took a step forward on his all-weather debut when fifth in a first-time tongue strap here recently and is 3 lb lower now. Blastofmagic, just 1 lb higher than for his latest success at Navan in June, is next on the list ahead of Maggie Thunder, who is taken to reverse recent C&D placings with Dee Sprinter.
