Forecasts

Goddess Of Fire (85/40), Marion's Boy (3/1), Magnetised (3/1), Mahanakhon Power (3/1), Confils (11/2), Essgee Nics (7/1)

Quite a trappy race despite the lack of numbers. MAHANAKHON POWER has been in good heart in recent weeks and is taken to gain another win. Magnetised had the reopposing next-time-out winner Goddess of Fire behind in second when scoring over 1m here recently and could be the one to give Mick Appleby's charge most to think about.
