Forecasts

Lord Erskine (15/8), The Last Indian (9/4), Askari (9/2), The Same Again (5/1), Oakfield Rose (11/2), General Gold (12/1), Kool Lady (16/1), Jimmyjames (20/1), The Broom Squire (33/1)

Verdict

THE LAST INDIAN was in great form on the Flat when last in action back in the autumn and she can make a winning handicap debut on her first start of 2018. The selection has ground conditions to suit here and is taken to get the better of Lord Erskine who ran well for a long way on handicap debut last summer while another handicap debutant Askari can finish third.
  1. The Last Indian
