Forecasts

Verdict

A tightly-knit handicap where all the runners have some sort of chance if reproducing their recent performances. Lion Hearted will be looking to start this year in the same form as last year although he’ll have to do so off higher marks this time. Strawberry Jack is another with a tough mark to cope with and it’s not certain that Fighting Temeraire and Samphire Coast will get the strong gallop that they seemingly need. FIELD OF DREAMS is therefore the selected having shown some good battling qualities last time when winning at Lingfield and he’s still relatively unexposed in a handicapping sense.
