Forecasts

Bournemouth (2/1), Zatara Magic (3/1), Han Solo (7/2), Harold The Duke (5/1), Firealley (11/2), Alado's Pride (22/1), Runaway Song (25/1), East Coast (25/1), Downing Seven (25/1)

Verdict

ZATARA MAGIC turned in a new best effort last time and is arguably the one the others have to beat. Firealley could provide the toughest threat, while Han Solo may grab a bit more place money.
