Forecasts
Light Heart (11/8), Beryl The Petal (3/1), Barasti Dancer (6/1), Samantha James (6/1), Wee Jim (9/1)
This looks to be a duel between two once-raced juveniles both of whom produced likeable first efforts and it’s only by a narrow margin that LIGHT HEART gets the nod. There was a lot to like about his debut effort and with his yard going well with their juveniles he’s taken to see off Beryl The Petal. She made an equally taking debut at Redcar with the form having been franked and she’ll provide a tough opponent in receipt of weight. The minor slot ought to go the way of Samantha James although she’s disappointed on two starts since showing promise on her debut.
