Forecasts

First Excel (5/2), Fenix (5/1), Archimedes (11/2), Magnificia (11/2), Jazz Legend (13/2), Send In The Clouds (10/1), Kit's Allanah (11/1), Kommander Kirkup (11/1), Shortbackandsides (40/1), Song Of Beauty (66/1), Carriage Clock (100/1)

FIRST EXCEL shaped well up with a strong pace at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and now returns to his favoured Southwell, so he could take some pegging back from the front. Send In The Clouds shaped well on his first go in a handicap at the same course recently and has scope for more, so he's a danger along with Magnificia, who can put a poor run behind her.
