Forecasts

Transitioning (13/8), Thunder Run (7/2), Tiaraqueen (11/2), Apocalyx (6/1), Warrior's Dance (15/2), Shamardal Star (16/1), Zous Juice (25/1), Fox Spirit (33/1), Spring Festival (50/1), Kendalina (66/1), Edward Cullen (66/1), On Locust Point (200/1), Dash Gordon (200/1), Wiggins B (200/1), Fiona's Ridge (250/1), Victoria Legend (250/1)

TRANSITIONING made a bright start at Doncaster 6 weeks ago, winning readily, and might be able to make it 2-2 with improvement forthcoming. Warrior's Dance and Fox Spirit head up a number of interesting newcomers, while Tiaraqueen and Apocalyx return following disappointing efforts on the back of promising debuts.
