Forecasts

Bobby Dassler (5/4), Zambezi Magic (16/5), Blue Hero (8/1), My Brother Mike (9/1), Bramble Jelly (11/1), Stormy Lady (12/1), Spinning Dancer (18/1), The Dark Baron (22/1), Alioski (28/1), Daany (33/1), Positivia (80/1), Tilsworth Silver (150/1)

ZAMBEZI MAGIC bolted up by 9½ lengths at Ffos Las 5 days ago and can follow up under a penalty while in such rude health. Blue Hero is a Bath legend with nine course victories so must be respected having been denied a clear run last time. Bobby Dassler continues in good form and has to be feared.
