Forecasts

Paddys Motorbike (9/2), Janika (5/1), Arrivederci (6/1), Lightly Squeeze (9/1), War Lord (9/1), I K Brunel (9/1), Botox Has (10/1), Kateson (11/1), Craigneiche (14/1), Dans Le Vent (14/1), Danny Kirwan (14/1), Nordano (50/1)

This is significantly tougher than the races PADDYS MOTORBIKE has landed on his last 2 starts, but he's clearly on the up and is appealing back in a handicap under conditions that he evidently relishes. Arrivederci looked progressive prior to misfiring here last time and is feared, along with unexposed handicap debutants Craigneiche and Danny Kirwan.
