Forecasts

Crystal Lad (7/4), Baddesley Prince (9/2), Friday Night Light (5/1), Ey Up Rocky (11/1), Malachite (12/1), Paint The Dream (12/1), Samson's Reach (14/1), From The Heart (20/1), Eva's Oskar (25/1), Chief Brody (33/1), Nathans Pride (33/1), Gaelic Poet (50/1)

Verdict

An interesting opener with several of these holding the potential to edge up the ladder. Friday Night Light is on a dangerous mark and this is his level now so he may not be easy to pass. Malachite and Ey Up Rocky are both sure to end up better than their current marks and are respected. Baddesley Prince is another who could go well on handicap debut but preference is for CRYSTAL LAD who ran a cracker at Market Rasen last time and has the very generous 10lb claim of Niall Houlihan here.
  1. Crystal Lad
  2. Ey Up Rocky
  3. Baddesley Prince
