Forecasts

Daany (9/4), Abnaa (3/1), Coolagh Magic (10/3), Light Up Our Stars (9/1), Queen Of Burgundy (11/1), Bobby Joe Leg (14/1), Always Dreaming (14/1), Dream A Little (16/1), Headshot (40/1), Soldier's Son (50/1), The Retriever (50/1), Silver Diva (100/1)

COOLAGH MAGIC appeared to have a bit in hand when making a winning start for his current stable and, 3 months on, he remains well treated, so he gets the nod ahead of Daany, who justified support at Lingfield 8 days ago. Abnaa is another one to consider.
