Forecasts

Donnachies Girl (4/1), Perla Blanca (5/1), Gravity Wave (11/2), Thorntoun Care (6/1), Strictly Art (7/1), Elite Icon (7/1), Pammi (11/1), Shine Baby Shine (12/1), Poitin (16/1), Byronegetonefree (25/1), Go Guarantor (66/1)

STRICTLY ART can go one better than when finishing runner-up at Yarmouth last time out by taking this opening lady riders handicap. The gelding should appreciate the underfoot conditions forecast and he can see off Elite Icon who has a good jockey booking while third place can go to Shine Baby Shine who can put a below par hurdles effort behind her to take third.
