Forecasts

King's Gem (1/1), Shot Of Love (4/1), Ignac Lamar (5/1), Geralt Of Rivia (6/1), Katar (8/1), Hobson Point (11/1), Statu Of Liberty (18/1), Daytona Lady (40/1)

KING'S GEM starts off life in handicaps on a good mark on the pick of his form so is taken to make a winning start for new connections. Shot of Love made a decent start for this yard when third in a C&D novice and is another to consider along with Katar, both of whom also go handicapping for the first time.
