Forecasts

Baez (5/2), Simple Star (3/1), Lochnaver (6/1), Clan Jock (9/1), Samurai Sneddz (10/1), Ralphy Boy Two (12/1), Starlyte (12/1), Clansman (14/1), Lednikov (22/1), Whitwell (40/1), Selecto (125/1)

SIMPLE STAR made a promising start on his first go over this trip when a clear second over C&D and can race off the same mark here so gets the nod in an open handicap. Lochnaver just edged him out that day and is feared most under a 5 lb penalty ahead of the consistent Baez.
