Forecasts

Two Stars (10/3), Goal Exceeded (4/1), Stag Night (5/1), Magical Vision (11/2), Mehman (17/2), Mount Ruapehu (9/1), Mickey The Steel (12/1), Run Forrest Run (14/1), Mymomentintime (18/1), New Definition (20/1), Gustavus Weston (28/1), Never Shout Never (50/1)

TWO STARS and Stag Night are closely matched on their running in a useful sprint handicap at the Curragh a fortnight ago and Fozzy Stack's charge is taken to come out on top with the prospect of improvement in the offing. Magical Vision won a similar contest first time up last season and is another to consider. Goal Exceeded beat Take Me To Church (now Timeform-rated 104) when last seen and has to be respected also.
