Forecasts

Winter Spice (11/8), Sackett (6/4), Mr Fickle (7/1), Zephyros Bleu (9/1), Acaro (20/1)

WINTER SPICE has been running well since joining this stable and he can follow up his recent Exeter second by going one better in this amateur riders handicap event. Top weight Sackett has a good jockey booked to ride and he can finish runner-up having won last time out while third can go to Mr Fickle who is another to have won on his most recent hurdles start.
