Forecasts

Tavrina (10/3), Magicinthemaking (6/1), Velvet Vista (13/2), The Game Of Life (8/1), Hunters Step (8/1), Last Date (17/2), Champagne Supanova (10/1), Aces N Kings (10/1), Six Strings (12/1), Bint Dandy (20/1), Salam Ya Faisal (20/1), Street Poet (20/1), Mungo's Quest (22/1), Treaty Of Dingle (40/1), Cobra Eye (66/1), Rita's Folly (100/1)

CHAMPAGNE SUPANOVA returned from a break in top form with success at Lingfield over 6f. He should have no problems with the extra furlong and looks the one to beat off a 2 lb higher mark. Tavrina has been in good form on polytrack recently and should go close. Last Date may bounce back in cheekpieces and has an each-way chance.
