Forecasts

It's Personal (7/2), Max The Magician (4/1), Esquevelle (11/2), Mister Wilson (11/2), Spring Tradition (6/1), Night Bomber (8/1), Secret Chord (10/1), The Specialist (18/1), Slinky Mapimpi (22/1)

Verdict

ESQUEVELLE has marginally the best all-round profile and is fancied to build on a solid C&D second 7 days ago. Secret Chord could emerge as the main danger, while Max The Magician merits respect as well.
