Forecasts

Its On The Line (11/8), Ferns Lock (7/2), Billaway (11/2), Premier Magic (15/2), Sine Nomine (8/1), Samcro (20/1), Quintin's Man (28/1), Shantou Flyer (33/1), Time Leader (50/1), D'jango (66/1), Ramillies (80/1), From The Heart (150/1)

ITS ON THE LINE has edged out both Ferns Lock and Billaway already this season and this stiff test of stamina (in testing conditions) is only likely to aid his cause, so he's fancied to confirm superiority over that pair, who boast solid claims of their own. Premier Magic has done nothing wrong since taking this prize at the expense of the selection in 2023, so he also warrants a strong mention.
