Forecasts

Quantum Realm (8/11), Eric Bloodaxe (8/11), Chinx Of Light (7/2), Benny The Duke (11/2), Fattan (6/1), Monishter Are Mwee (15/2), Magnetic Zero (14/1), Banada Bridge (16/1), Glory Breeze (16/1), Crosshouse Boy (50/1), Kingston Kid (66/1), Our Patron Saint (250/1), Miala Araya (250/1)

CHINX OF LIGHT sets a good standard on the form he showed when a promising debut second here in the spring so is taken to make a winning return. Eric Bloodaxe was a useful bumper winner and is feared most now he starts over hurdles, although fellow debutant Quantum Realm is another who needs considering, especially if the market speaks in his favour.
