Forecasts

Venetian (5/2), Angel On Fire (11/2), So Messi (6/1), Lisamaria (13/2), Status Green (9/1), Rock Basher (9/1), Adhuil (10/1), Magic Charm (10/1), Bobby K (10/1), Bear Profit (14/1), Deuteronomy (25/1), Reckless Quality (33/1), Wonder Spirit (33/1), Genuine Jim (33/1), Dazzling Spirit (40/1), Talking Tough (66/1)

For a modest handicap, a fair few of these arrive in form, with MAGIC CHARM just about the most persuasive option with this slight step back up in trip sure to suit. Angel On Fire and Status Green are a couple of potential threats.
