Forecasts

Paragon (11/8), Havana Club (3/1), Me Tarzan (10/3), I Follow Rivers (7/2), Herkeios (11/2), Banksman (18/1), D Day Major Winter (20/1), Oasis Sunrise (66/1)

Verdict

I FOLLOW RIVERS is taken to defy a penalty and complete a hat-trick, perhaps at the main expense of Andrew Balding's Paragon who made a decent start to his handicap career when third at Windsor. D Day Major Winter could have more to offer in handicaps and also makes the shortlist.
