NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 15 (EXACTA)

2022: WHITEBEAM 3 9 8 David Probert 15-8 (Harry & Roger Charlton) 12 ran

Betting Forecast: 13-8 Lose Yourself (IRE), 8-1 Satirical (GB), 9-1 Value Added (GB), 10-1 Back See Daa (GB), 12-1 Sanction (GB), 14-1 Without Remorse (IRE), 20-1 Classic Times (GB), 25-1 Sea of Thieves (GB), Tajalat (IRE), 50-1 Avon Light (GB), Beach Kitty (IRE), 66-1 Fast Affair (GB), Fox Island (GB), 80-1 Daliso (IRE), 150-1 Showy (GB)

Race Summary: LOSE YOURSELF sets a very useful standard and has to be the call. Satirical drew a blank in 2 outings last year but the fact she went off at short odds on her debut suggests she’s well regarded and it’s potentially significant that Frankie Dettori comes across for the ride. Value Added should have more to offer on the back of her promising C&D debut second last autumn, while Sanction and Without Remorse are newcomers to monitor in the betting.
