Forecasts
Ashdown Forest (4/5), Codiak (3/1), Chico Magnifica (10/3), Orphan Ollie (12/1), Gallus Norman (50/1), Liberty Flame (100/1)
CHICO MAGNIFICA made a promising start when fourth at Doncaster and can build on it here to get off the mark at the chief expense of Codiak, who also has better days ahead of him judged on his debut fourth at the same track. Ashdown Forest is another who can have a say.
