Forecasts

Grecian Slipper (9/4), Harry's Legacy (5/2), Mellow Magic (4/1), Molly's Gamble (13/2), Kingswear (10/1), Shajak (16/1), Kendancer (25/1), Whirling Dervish (33/1), Dalton Highway (40/1)

Verdict

MELLOW MAGIC won first-time-out last term and while she's left Andrew Balding since last seen, she's joined another top stable. Sure to be well prepared for this and from a handy mark back in distance she gets the vote in favour of Harry's Legacy and Grecian Slipper.

  1. Mellow Magic4/1
  2. Harry's Legacy5/2
  3. Grecian Slipper9/4
