Forecasts

Queen's Magic (6/4), Massini's Dream (7/4), Shazzamataz (2/1), Potters Sapphire (11/4), Gortnagirl (12/1), Thank You Before (16/1), Miss Malarky (100/1), Carried Away (150/1)

Verdict

Quite an interesting little race in which narrow preference is for MASSINI'S DREAM who has shown ability between the flags and has the champion jockey on board for her hurdles debut. Both Potter's Sapphire and Queen's Magic could be dangers having already shown ability, and Gary Moore's Thank You Before is another who may do well over timber.
  1. Massini's Dream
  2. Potters Sapphire
  3. Queen's Magic
