Forecasts

Blackjack Magic (3/1), Certainly Red (4/1), Grozni (4/1), Dom Of Mary (11/2), Kestrel Valley (7/1), Bangers And Cash (15/2), Java Point (10/1), Fortescue (12/1), Full Back (14/1), Moroder (20/1)

Verdict

KESTREL VALLEY is still on the up and, with some fluent jumping, she might be able to build up an unassailable lead under positive tactics, so she's marginally preferred to Blackjack Magic, who arrives in good order. Dom of Mary is also considered on the back of a career best.
