Forecasts

Champ (11/8), Proschema (5/2), Paisley Park (6/1), Thomas Darby (7/1), Dashel Drasher (7/1), Tea Clipper (17/2)

The classy CHAMP wasn't on his game on his final outing last season but he usually goes well fresh, so he's worth chancing to make another successful return. Proschema looked better than ever when scoring at Wetherby on return and hasn't had much racing over 3m, so he's a big danger, while a customary strong late run is expected from Paisley Park.
