Forecasts

Magnetic North (11/8), Cordouan (7/2), Edge Of Darkness (7/2), Autocrat (11/2), Santa Catarina (6/1), Chica Power (9/1), Lohengrin (12/1), Dumb Love (16/1), Quick Blessing (40/1), Girl Crush (40/1), Tasmanian Girl (66/1)

The most appealing option is last year's winner MAGNETIC NORTH, who cemented the positive start made for his new yard when landing a Gowran claimer over 1m 5 weeks ago and the return to this longer trip looks sure to suit. Cordouan, Edge of Darkness and Lohengrin look the trio to give the selection most to think about.
