Forecasts

Magic Wave (2/7), The Kalooki Kid (5/2), I Love My Baie (11/4), Now Is The Hour (14/1), Kandor (20/1), Smart Lady (150/1)

MAGIC WAVE returned in excellent style with a facile success at Market Rasen and with more to come he looks the way to go. Irish challenger I Love My Baie rates a big threat though now his stamina is drawn out more while Musselburgh victor The Kalooki Kid and newcomer Kandor can't be discounted either.
