Forecasts

London Glory (11/4), Auspicion (7/2), Almutamarred (6/1), Omotesando (8/1), Apalis (8/1), Henpecked (12/1), Overhaugh Street (12/1), Arrowzone (12/1), Yensir (14/1), Highway Robber (20/1), Sandgate (150/1)

A tight and compact opener in which a number of the runners have joined new trainers. Apalis was a three time winner in France and could be interesting on her Flat debut for Mick Easterby if the market support arrives, whilst Oliver Greenall has a fine record with his runners at this track, and his new recruit Omotesando is handicapped to go close. The likes of London Glory and Highway Robber have proved their well-being with a couple of placed efforts, but at the likely odds, a chance is taken on AUSPICION despite a slight worry about this 1m2f trip. He is lightly raced on the AW and has fallen to a highly competitive mark and should be much sharper for his recent Wetherby outing.
