Forecasts

Van Aert (5/4), Justenzia (7/2), West Wickham (13/2), Staffordshire (15/2), Houndsworth (17/2), Captain Brett (10/1), Godstone (28/1)

Richard Hannon has his string in good nick so his JUSTENZIA, who appeals as a likely improver on her handicap debut, looks the way to go. West Wickham also has better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main danger with Captain Brett and Staffordshire others who can have a say in this open contest.
