Forecasts

Miakoda (6/4), The Last Time (11/5), Until Dawn (8/1), Dubai Magic (9/1), Cuban Lynx (10/1), Frankies Dream (16/1), Kensington Hope (20/1), Woodhay Whisper (50/1)

MIAKODA signed off for Richard Hannon with a good Kempton third and is fancied to make a winning start for the excellent James Owen team here. Cuban Lynx is feared most on the back of his solid Newcastle second with Frankies Dream and Woodhay Whisper also in the mix.
