Forecasts

Irish Point (5/6), Magical Zoe (11/10), Media Naranja (20/1), Sir Allen (25/1), David Garrick (50/1), Fizzle Rock (66/1), I Don't Get It (125/1)

Verdict

With race-fitness on her side and armed with plenty of scope for further improvement, MAGICAL ZOE is taken to get the better of likely market leader Irish Point. The latter sets the standard based on his Grade 1 success at Aintree during the spring, but he will do well to successfully concede 13 lb to Magical Zoe, who looked good when making a winning reappearance at Gowran. David Garrick scored on the Flat last month and could be in line for minor place money.
