Forecasts

Benefit Of Magic (9/4), Sir Carno (3/1), Young Paddymc (7/2), Arch Stanton (5/1), Ardean Lass (8/1), Triolet (10/1)

It may be worth chancing here that ARDEAN LASS has put a disappointing showing at Ayr last time behind her and can build on a second there on her penultimate start to get off the mark here. The money that came for her last time suggests she's held in high regard and she should be going close here at the very least. Sir Carno was denied a hat-trick last time under a revised handicap mark and can chase the selection home, followed by Benefit Of Magic.
