Forecasts

Rock Chant (2/1), Mukha Magic (11/4), Thefastnthecurious (11/4), Home And Dry (5/1), Socially Shady (11/1)

THEFASTNTHECURIOUS came in a good third here last time despite not having the race run to suit so is fancied to resume winning ways off the same mark. Last year's victor Mukha Magic could emerge as the main threat ahead of Deborah Faulkner's new recruit Home And Dry.
