Forecasts

Magic Gem (5/2), Stand Free (3/1), Ranger Bob (9/2), Rose Of Lancashire (6/1), Trevie Fountain (9/1), Twilley (12/1), Egrecio (16/1), Mountrath (25/1), Rockley Point (50/1), Toshack (100/1)

MAGIC GEM showed improved form making his AW debut in first-time blinkers when a close third over this C&D in October and should make another bold bid tried in a visor this time. Stand Free ran her best race for a while when fourth at Southwell last time and is a big player with a repeat, with Trevie Fountain another to consider if able to shake off his latest run.
