Forecasts

Magical Spirit (2/1), Queen Of Burgundy (3/1), Hard Solution (6/1), Baldwin (6/1), Gremoboy (8/1), Jill Rose (10/1), Northern Society (12/1), Saltie Girl (14/1), Alfred The Grey (20/1), Murqaab (25/1)

Verdict

The improving fillies Northern Society and Queen Of Burgundy must prove themselves as being equally proficient with cut underfoot, although the chance of the latter in particular is an obvious one from a handicapping perspective with 5lb claimer Darragh Keenan off-setting over 80% of the penalty incurred (6lb) for winning at Leicester. Pace is likely to be plentiful with the speedsters Hard Solution and MAGICAL SPIRIT in the line up. The selection is proven under similar conditions, and due a 4lb rise for finishing a close second to an Archie Watson-trained winner at Redcar last week, really ought to be stamping his presence firmly in the mix.
  1. Magical Spirit
  2. Queen Of Burgundy
  3. Saltie Girl
