Forecasts

Nayati (7/2), Apasionado (4/1), Treshnish (9/2), Solomon Grey (6/1), Oxford Blu (6/1), Whatzdjazz (8/1), Paddys Runner (16/1), Bertimont (16/1), Mr Kite (20/1), Always Resolute (20/1)

Verdict

SOLOMON GREY gets the nod having shaped well in good novice company at Kempton on Boxing Day. He had previously posted a decent win at Plumpton and can make a winning start in handicaps now. Fellow handicap debutant Oxford Blu is well worth paying attention to with Johnson booked to steer, while Mr Kite may improve on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, assuming conditions don't deteriorate. Nayati was fortunate to maintain winning ways at Ascot last time and may be vulnerable. Paddys Runner and Apasionado are both capable of having a say in the finish.
  1. Solomon Grey
  2. Paddys Runner
  3. Oxford Blu
