Forecasts

Magic Day (1/1), Bayrann (3/1), Colonel Nelson (6/1), Cutthewire (13/2), Tumuch (7/1), Zoomtime (16/1), Bop Wont Stop (25/1), Gold Fever (66/1), Midnight Fairy (66/1), Moonis (80/1), Herja (100/1), I'm Flattered (125/1), Dunany Point (125/1), Goodbye Picadilly (125/1), Monslatt (150/1), Ben Purple (150/1), Zentopia (200/1), A Family Affair (200/1), Somerset Hill (200/1)

MAGIC DAY'S debut fourth in a big-field novice at Navan a month go was a positive start and with this race lacking strength in depth, she's the one to beat. Tumuch is a danger if bouncing back from a lesser effort last time, while Bayrann can remain competitive.
