Forecasts

Premier Magic (8/11), Dandy Dan (7/2), Rebel Dawn Rising (5/1), Myth Buster (16/1), Encounter A Giant (18/1), Trappist Monk (25/1), Polydora (40/1)

Verdict

If PREMIER MAGIC is in anything like the same form as when successful at the Festival in March he'll be very hard to beat. Dandy Dan was pulled up at the Festival but he won this race last year and can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of Rebel Dawn Rising, who would have won at Fakenham recently but for unseating at the last.

  1. PREMIER MAGIC (IRE)
  2. DANDY DAN (IRE)
  3. REBEL DAWN RISING (IRE)
