Forecasts
Nine Altars (5/2), A Little Magic (11/4), Captain Hox (9/2), Domtaline (5/1), Swaledale Lad (7/1), Fair Loch (15/2), Indian Voyage (10/1), Roxyfet (33/1)
This should be run at a good pace with both A LITTLE MAGIC and Fair Loch likely to go on here at a course that suits front runners. The former has taken a little time to find his feet over fences but did show improvement when winning at Huntingdon last time out. Fair Loch paid the price for getting involved in a head-to-head on his last outing with a useful sort, and with a more conservative and less aggressive ride he could play a part here. The drop in class may well help Indian Voyage although he would have more chance if this was at his beloved Wetherby and Domtaline will enjoy being back over 2m after running over trips that have been too far.
1. A Little Magic
2. Indian Voyage
