This Grade 2 looks wide open. The suggestion is ERNE RIVER who recorded 2 good efforts to end 2022 and is sure to go well if deriving any benefit from a recent wind operation. Recent Sandown handicap winner Green Book has a bit to find at the figures giving weight away but he has the potential for better again and may provide the chief threat ahead of Olly Murphy's Itchy Feet.
