Forecasts

Samphire Coast (5/4), Gala Celebration (15/8), Mister Music (7/2), Exit Europe (7/1), Palawan (12/1), Luna Magic (16/1), What Usain (20/1), Tinker Tailor (33/1)

Verdict

Samphire Coast has a good record here and holds obvious claims after some good recent efforts, but a chance is taken on LUNA MAGIC. Off the mark at Lingfield two starts back, she holds excuses for a subsequent poor showing at the same course and should be capable of a better performance here just 3lb higher than her winning mark. Mister Music has something to prove on Polytrack but is unpenalised for a recent win at Southwell so completes the tricast.
