Forecasts

The Lightmaker (9/4), He's Something (11/4), Nevada Samba (4/1), Le Cold Grey (5/1), Sixfourgold (7/1), Octo Gane (7/1), Triple Edge (10/1), Rine Yeats (10/1), Saint Invictus (20/1), Valiant Soldier (33/1), Keep Off The Sugar (125/1), Look Don't Stare (200/1), Mariniere (200/1), Oscar Jack (250/1)

Verdict

THE LIGHTMAKER was surrounded by subsequent winners when second in a Chepstow bumper in December so looks the one to beat. Le Cold Grey offered something to work on at Lingfield, while Nevada Samba looks the pick of the newcomers before market clues.
