Forecasts

Fantasy Navigator (7/4), Magic Gem (3/1), Flagman (4/1), Struck Gold (11/2), Yaahobby (6/1), Show Compassion (13/2), Arlecchino's Gift (8/1), Jumira Bridge (14/1), Coast (14/1), Dodgy Bob (18/1), Sparkling Diamond (33/1), Irish Rocket (40/1), Hiya Hiya (150/1)

Lots with chances. MAGIC GEM got off to a winning start for David Griffiths over 7f here last time and can complete his hat-trick now back in handicap company with this drop back in trip a likely plus. Struck Gold could emerge as the chief threat on the back of his good C&D second. Last year's winner Coast can also have a say off an easing mark.
