Forecasts

Paragon (5/4), Blue Train (15/2), Herkeios (17/2), Mr Ubiquitous (10/1), Jack Andrea (10/1), Skyelight (12/1), Ceira G (12/1), Blackbrook (14/1), Helaali (14/1), Commander Flavius (18/1), Arlecchino's Rex (22/1), Risk (28/1), Tiny Rebel (28/1), Coiled (100/1)

PARAGON is very much the type to do better in handicaps this year for Andrew Balding and could be the way to go before any market clues. Skyelight, off the same mark as when a good third at Lingfield on her return, and Blue Train, in first-time headgear, are dangers.
