Forecasts

Starjik (1/2), Admirable Lad (9/4), Eastern Star (7/1), Viewfromthestars (15/2), Company Minx (10/1), Epeius (12/1), Nigg Bay (14/1), Bernard Spierpoint (16/1), Wiff Waff (33/1), Barney Too (50/1), Beloved Of All (200/1)

Having attracted strong support, STARJIK duly got off the mark in a claimer at Kempton 8 days ago and he can follow up under a penalty back in handicap company. The main danger looks to be Admirable Lad as he bids for a 4-timer, with Viewfromthestars completing the shortlist on his second run for his new yard.
