Forecasts

Withernsea (8/11), Acrux (2/1), Dandy Highwayman (7/1), Kody Ridge (10/1), Justice Pleasing (12/1), Arcane Dancer (20/1), Ingleby Angel (50/1), Kaala Taara (100/1)

WITHERNSEA has been out of form of late but drops markedly in grade and with that in mind he can return to winning ways in this opening claiming event. Acrux has run well in handicaps of late and is taken to finish runner-up ahead of Kody Ridge who has the cheekpieces applied for the first time.
