Forecasts

Air Navigator (7/4), Billy Bronco (10/3), Muffins For Tea (4/1), Magic River (5/1), Aubusson (15/2)

Verdict

Little on form between AIR NAVIGATOR and Billy Bronco but Tom George's veteran is much the more consistent so is taken to emerge on top and gain a deserved first win since 2018 from Dr Richard Newland's frustrating chaser. Magic River is fancied to shrug off a recent poor run at Plumpton and rates the pick of the remaining trio.

  1. AIR NAVIGATOR
  2. BILLY BRONCO
  3. MAGIC RIVER (IRE)
