Forecasts

Magic Memories (11/4), Optiva Star (7/2), Macs Dilemma (5/1), Zabbie (11/2), Yellow Lion (6/1), Shoot To Kill (13/2), Marsh Benham (9/1), Tribute (10/1), Poetic Force (14/1), Mamillius (20/1), Renesmee (25/1), Night Arc (25/1)

OPTIVA STAR is on a roll and fancied to defy a further 4 lb rise in the weights and complete his four-timer. In-form course scorer Macs Dilemma rates a big threat though, with the lightly-raced Magic Memories and handily-weighted Shoot To Kill also well in the mix in this open handicap.
