Forecasts

Soul Seeker (9/4), Debawtry (5/1), Teruntum Star (11/2), East Street Revue (6/1), Ventura Flame (15/2), Van Gerwen (10/1), Lady Celia (12/1), Mr Wagyu (18/1), Star Prize (20/1), Burtonwood (40/1)

DEBAWTRY shaped well over C&D last time and she looks to have leading claims here once again. She's had relatively little racing for her age and should be able to gain a third-career success here. Soul Seeker will be a serious danger under his penalty though as he looks to get the hat-trick up. Van Gerwen is always a danger over this C&D and he has solid each-way claims.
