Plenty with claims in this, including Irish runner Northern Sky. Wolverhampton winner Blushes and Forecaster are Newmarket raiders with the latter preferred on her handicap debut. Croft Ranger won a maiden in testing ground at Redcar and Rubis may figure having slipped a few pounds down the weights, though WOTABREEZE is preferred. He went close on his handicap bow at Beverley earlier this month despite having to be switched for a clear run.
