Forecasts

Admirable Lad (5/2), Alfred Cove (11/4), Coolagh Magic (3/1), Griggy (7/1), Won Love (12/1), Dark Shot (16/1), Amazing Amaya (20/1), Pollinate (25/1), Dodgy Bob (40/1), Proclivity (66/1)

COOLAGH MAGIC arrives in very good nick so is fancied to capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark here and resume winning ways at the chief expense of Alfred Cove, who is also weighted to go well for his new handler if getting back to his best. C&D winner Admirable Lad can't be taken lightly either in a competitive sprint.
