Forecasts

First Approach (3/1), Dinons (3/1), Magnium (4/1), Felix Desjy (5/1), Easy Game (11/2), Choungaya (14/1), Sometime Soon (14/1), Western Victory (16/1), Under Surveillance (50/1)

MAGNIUM fared best of these in graded company here a fortnight ago and should handle this longer trip in his stride. That was his first start of the season and maiden outing for Jessica Harrington, so there is likely more to come from him in this competitive heat. Dinons is on quite the roll now and showed his best stuff so far in landing the five-timer at Cheltenham last month, but this is a tougher contest and he ships weight in all directions. First Approach and Choungaya are improvers while Felix Desjy could easily leave his disappointing effort here a fortnight behind.
