Forecasts

Arnhem (7/2), Maguire's Grace (9/2), Art Of Unity (5/1), Tide Of Time (5/1), Chocquinto (13/2), Poet's Pride (7/1), Rosie Bassett (15/2), That's Mad (8/1), Geological (16/1), Blastofmagic (25/1), I've Got Wings (100/1)

MAGUIRE'S GRACE was much improved when making a successful handicap debut over C&D a fortnight ago and is taken to defy an 11 lb rise given she's totally unexposed over the minimum trip. Rosie Bassett lurks on a dangerous mark, with Art of Unity completing the shortlist.
