Forecasts

Fly True (4/1), The Red Witch (4/1), Magnificia (5/1), Popple (5/1), Zahirah (11/2), Fair Praise (15/2), Wrongroadtomayo (10/1), Socru (11/1), Monsieur Royale (33/1), Hellofagame (33/1), Liscahann (125/1), Glacier Fox (300/1)

MAGNIFICIA shaped well on her first attempt on fibresand last month and she can build on that here. Fly True has fallenl to an attractive mark and can't be ruled out at her favoured venue. Fair Praise is a rare runner for her top yard and has obvious claims on handicap debut if she handles the surface.
