Forecasts

Magical Zoe (10/3), Trevaunance (10/3), Countess Of Tyrone (5/1), Lily Hart (11/2), Dancing Tango (6/1), Scarlett O'Hara (8/1), Thunder Roll (8/1), Grateful (12/1), Esquiline (28/1), Starry Heavens (33/1), Perfect Portrait (40/1)

MAGICAL ZOE has already showed her class as a hurdler and, having eased clear to score with loads in hand in a Down Royal maiden, she's worth chancing upped in grade. Dancing Tango sets the standard and looks a major player, while Countess of Tyrone should go well again.
