Forecasts

Serried Ranks (5/4), Call Glory (4/1), Reveiller (7/1), Mediate Alexander (9/1), Magic Force (10/1), Notta Nother (10/1), Rockinthefreeworld (18/1), Hug A Tree (20/1), Cowboy Stuff (33/1), Vidi Vici (40/1), Edgewater Drive (50/1), Land Of Magic (150/1)

SERRIED RANKS only won a 3-runner event at Nottingham on debut but did so in rather taking fashion and is fancied to defy a penalty with further improvement anticipated. Mediate Alexander receives nearly a stone from the selection and is also expected to step forward from her first start, whilst Rockinthefreeworld perhaps makes most appeal of several interesting newcomers.
