Forecasts

Too Cool Forshrule (11/4), Swallows Song (4/1), Forged Well (5/1), Inis Oirr (6/1), Special Rate (13/2), Magna Sam (9/1), Kilmore Rock (11/1), Giovanni Change (16/1)

A winner of four of his six previous visits to this course, MAGNA SAM makes plenty of appeal down to 0-120 company for the first time since a wide-margin C&D success back in February 2022. Too Cool Forshrule wasn't ideallty placed at Newcastle on his latest start and is feared most ahead of Giovanni Change.
