Forecasts

Angel Of Darkness (5/2), Pepita (3/1), Paradwys (7/2), Chupalla (6/1), Pretty Bubbles (7/1), In The Spotlight (10/1)

Bottom weight PARADWYS can make a winning return to handicap company in this contest that is likely to be dominated by three-year-old's. The selection impressed when taking a maiden last time out and with that effort behind her she can follow up for a yard with a 27% strike-rate (3/11) in recent weeks. Pepita had run a couple of sound races prior to finishing sixth at Chester last time out and she can take second ahead of Chupalla who drops in trip on her debut for this stable having won over an extended 7f last time.
