Forecasts

Zwicky (6/5), Juge Et Parti (4/1), Beaumesnil (4/1), Paddy The Horse (5/1), Halpha Soleil (7/1), Teescomponentstrig (15/2), Applaus (16/1)

ZWICKY is a handicapper going the right way and can resume winning ways with Sean Quinlan back in the saddle. Paddy The Horse should be sharper for his chase reappearance and is now 3 lb lower than when winning a handicap here last season so he's second choice ahead of the low-mileage Beaumesnil.
