Forecasts

Lothian (9/4), Fair And Square (3/1), Thakrah (3/1), Coolagh Magic (4/1), Sparked (5/1), Perfect Symphony (11/1), Little Girl Blue (18/1), Astonbury (66/1), Miss Shirley (66/1), Elf Rising (125/1)

COOLAGH MAGIC went very close over 6f here last month and is the marginal pick here, with Fair And Square and Thakrah the biggest threats in a modest contest.
