Forecasts

Buster Valentine (11/8), Emissaire (9/2), Dunly (6/1), Ca Le Ferra (7/1), Can Can Sixty Two (9/1), Selfcontrol (16/1), Ride The Lightning (16/1), Mistermoonboy (50/1), Jessiemac (50/1), Robin De Plan (66/1), Leonasisland (80/1)

Verdict

A modest opener where those who have raced have questions to answer and it could be worth siding with newcomer BUSTER VALENTINE. He represents a stable in decent form and will be well versed ahead of this first assignment. Money for either of James Ewart's pair Ce La Ferra or Dunly would make them of interest, while Emissaire and Ride The Lightning are both considered. Robin De Plan comes from decent jumping stock and is another to watch with interest on debut.
  1. Buster Valentine
