Forecasts

Hezahunk (5/2), Bluebells Boy (11/4), Mudlahhim (4/1), Magic Gem (9/2), Kodi Noir (12/1), Tathmeen (18/1), Coast (25/1), Dillydingdillydong (28/1), Shorts On (33/1), Montelusa (50/1)

HEZAHUNK ran his most encouraging race to date when fourth at Chelmsford last time and this lightly-raced 4-y-o can build on that and get off the mark. The hat-trick seeking Magic Gem is second choice ahead of Bluebells Boy, who took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Newcastle.
