Forecasts

Nellie Leylax (3/1), Straight A (3/1), Magna Vega (11/2), Tasmanian Legend (11/2), Golden Bungle (15/2), Daymer Bay (9/1), Chiefman (10/1), Kodi Lion (16/1), Empire Of Art (20/1), Monsieur Melee (22/1), Lucy Lockett (22/1), Rocket Warrior (28/1), Flying Fletcher (40/1), Octet (66/1), World Without End (66/1), Kode Secret (150/1)

The step up to 7f should suit STRAIGHT A who is selected to add to last month's Yarmouth success. The fact that Chiefman went off at 5/4 for his debut suggests he's well regarded and it would be no surprise to see him leave that opening run behind and provide the chief threat. Tasmanian Legend is another who could improve plenty with an outing under his belt, while Magna Vega is a newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting given Danny Tudhope has a 4-9 record for the Tom Clover yard in 2023.
