Forecasts

Kings Shield (15/8), Merlin Magic (4/1), Vintager (6/1), Dream Warrior (13/2), Desert Wind (8/1), Regular Income (9/1), Motown Mick (12/1), Lawn Ranger (16/1), Chookie Dunedin (16/1)

Verdict

Top-weight Vintager has untapped potential and may be able to get involved, a remark which also applies to fellow handicap debutants Merlin Magic and Desert Wind. Dream Warrior is respected with his stable in such fine fettle, but the vote goes the unexposed KINGS SHIELD, who could be much better than this opening handicap mark and can confirm Kempton form with Lawn Ranger. The consistent Motown Mick and bottom-weight Regular Income also have claims.
