Forecasts

Poet's Magic (1/1), Flame of Freedom (9/4), The Cruising Lord (6/1), House Of Kings (9/1), Canagat (10/1), Green Power (16/1)

POET'S MAGIC is going from strength to strength this term and a 7 lb rise for her latest victory at Carlisle might not prove enough to thwart her such was the authority of that success. Flame of Freedom rates much the chief threat given she can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good recent fourth at Lingfield, with The Cruising Lord appealing as the pick of the remainder.
