Forecasts

Magic Saint (6/5), Bigmartre (2/1), Admiral's Secret (9/2), Azzuri (8/1), Gino Trail (14/1)

Gino Trail showed he retain all his enthusiasm on his reappearance at Sandown and, despite being the elder statesman, isn't going to be easy to head in this field. The danger is that both Bigmartre and Azzuri may be pestering him on the front end and that could be telling. Admiral's Secret was impressive here on Boxing Day and while a 5lb rise might not stop him, the fact he pulled stumps and refused to race since at Haydock has to be a worry. Paul Nicholls has a 29% strike rate here over the last 12 months and, with his team now firing, MAGIC SAINT can leave his pre-Christmas form behind to open his British account.
