Forecasts

Classy Al (5/2), Far From A Ruby (10/3), Breckland (5/1), Star Of St James (6/1), Josiebond (15/2), Langholm (8/1), On The River (10/1), Safran (18/1), One Last Hug (20/1), St Andrew's Castle (20/1), Hollis Brown (33/1), Where's Diana (66/1)

STAR OF ST JAMES fared best of those ridden prominently in a 1m course handicap last time and is given another chance to show he's still on a favourable mark on turf. Recent Catterick scorer Josiebond could go well again, while Classy Al is well capable at this Class 6 level if things drop his way.
