Forecasts

Dukeman (5/2), Eeetee (7/2), Strawman (4/1), Wootton'sun (9/2), The Menstone Gem (17/2), Jewel Maker (16/1), Daheer (16/1), Very Excellent (28/1)

DUKEMAN is well bred and showed plenty last season, so he's capable of defying an opening mark of 82 on seasonal/handicap debut. Wootton'sun looks a danger on the back of a solid showing at Pontefract and C&D winner Strawman should bounce back from an excusable run at York.
