Forecasts

Joy And Peace (13/8), Zatara Magic (5/2), Juan Carlos (4/1), Bournemouth (5/1), Firealley (11/1), Woman's World (14/1), Downing Seven (20/1), Official Secret (28/1), Great Affair (40/1)

ZATARA MAGIC should be bang there but it promises to be touch and go. Joy And Peace is the percentage call to finish second, while Juan Carlos also requires scrutiny.
