Forecasts

Paddyplex (5/2), Corndavon Lad (10/3), Coviglia (9/2), Twin Appeal (11/2), Valley Of Flowers (9/1), Retirement Beckons (12/1), Clay Regazzoni (14/1), Oh So Hot (33/1), Creative Mojo (80/1), Lily's Gift (125/1), Severeen (250/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for David O'Meara's VALLEY OF FLOWERS who is less exposed than most and should be all the better for her encouraging reappearance third at Pontefract. Coviglia is weighted to have a say on his first run for Michael Dods and in-form veteran Twin Appeal is worth a second look too.
