Forecasts

Magic McColgan (2/1), Barnahash Primrose (3/1), Rachel's Secret (4/1), Sainte Baol (6/1), Workinonadream (15/2), Harrys Annie (10/1), French Hill (16/1), Westy Grace (33/1), Mrs Biddle (150/1)

MAGIC MCCOLGAN is a full sister to the classy Tornado Flyer and, with a top yard, he makes plenty of appeal. Sainte Baol is an obvious danger having landed a point and Workinonadream is the best of those with bumper experience.
