Forecasts

Strategic Force (6/4), Red All Star (3/1), Kiss The Stars (11/1), Times In Anatefka (12/1), Dandysteps (12/1), Strategic Heights (16/1), Prince Connoisseur (16/1), Sweetie Jar (20/1), Clear Focus (20/1), Bubblesontherise (22/1), Jan Steen (25/1), Paytheprice (25/1), Little Cupcake (33/1), Opt Out (33/1), Your Pal Tal (33/1), Sartori (50/1), Sadie Babes (50/1)

Verdict

Red All Star is in fine form at the moment and has every chance to start the year with a win, while old rival Strategic Force is another for the shortlist having just failed here last week. A chance is taken on DANDYSTEPS however, she ran a cracker here in November at this trip and wasn't disgraced since over 6f. The consistent Times In Anatefka is likely to make a bid for place money while C&D winner Strategic Heights would have every chance if returning to form. 1. Dandysteps 2. Red All Star 3. Strategic Force
