Forecasts

Penn Avenue (8/15), Falaise Blanc (5/1), Sidney Stratton (13/2), Bebside (10/1), Woodshaw (16/1), Himself (25/1)

The vote goes to the filly PENN AVENUE, who has done very little wrong since switched to handicaps and she shaped as though the return to this trip was very much in order when a close third over 1¼m at Ffos Las recently. Falaise Blanc was successful at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and he is preferred to Sidney Stratton for forecast purposes.
