Forecasts

Cote d'Azur (10/3), Poet's Society (4/1), Towerlands Park (4/1), Chevallier (6/1), Leader Writer (7/1), The Warrior (7/1), Mr Scaramanga (7/1), My Target (8/1), Medici Banchiere (9/1), Franco's Secret (16/1), Forceful Appeal (25/1)

This is a good handicap with plenty in with a chance. CHEVALLIER ticks most of the boxes in his current form and is taken to continue his trainer's fine spell. Mr Scaramanga, Leader Writer, and The Warrior all have solid claims and are expected to be in the thick of the action, and Franco's Secret cannot be ruled out despite a modest run last time. He should strip fitter for that outing.
