Forecasts

Miggy Magic (5/2), Ecclesiastical (7/2), Rosenpur (5/1), Maharajas Express (15/2), Gustav Graves (17/2), Aces Wild (11/1), Level Up (11/1), Nelson Gay (16/1), Wedgewood (33/1), Dark Side Prince (50/1)

This looks competitive with plenty arriving in form, GUSTAV GRAVES taken to record a 6th C&D win with a good pace likely to aim at. Rosenpur and Ecclesiastical head the dangers.
