Forecasts

Wisper (15/8), Miss Down Under (3/1), Zambezi Magic (10/3), Royal Thunder (4/1), Snapcracklepop (9/2), Dark Island (14/1), Kepala (16/1), Blue Hero (28/1)

SNAPCRACKLEPOP hasn't been seen to best effect on both starts since scoring at Windsor last month, denied a run entering the final furlong at Kempton 10 days ago, so he is taken to get back to winning ways with the step up in trip expected to suit. Zambezi Magic could be the main danger as he drops back in distance, while Wisper can give another good account.
