Forecasts

Traprain Law (5/4), Ginger Mail (13/8), Maimie's Magic (7/2), Kilbrainy (7/1), Serious Ego (8/1), Minella Youngy (11/1), Cave Court (14/1), Gladiatorial (28/1), Faron (80/1)

This can go to MAIMIE'S MAGIC, who overcame a pace bias when scoring at Newcastle last time and is likely capable of better yet. Traprain Law and Ginger Mail are feared most.
