Forecasts

Mukha Magic (13/8), Nicks Not Wonder (9/2), Arabian King (9/2), Mr Carbonator (11/2), Be Fair (13/2), Siavash (14/1)

MUKHA MAGIC ran respectably behind an impressive winner here last month. Down in class, he should be able to add to his course tally. Mr Carbonator also enjoys it round here and he shouldn't be far away. Nicks Not Wonder is the type to improve and has to be respected on fibresand debut.
