Forecasts

Phinda Mzala (6/4), Edward Longshanks (4/1), Gimme A Rainbow (6/1), Who's That Star (7/1), Stanley Park (7/1), Auld Mug (10/1), Movie Magic (10/1), Alfonsa Spagoni (11/1), Charge Down (12/1)

AULD MUG looks marginally the pick in this field but it's an open race. Phinda Mzala is the danger, while Who's That Star is another that should go well.
