Forecasts

Paddy In The Caddy (5/4), Siam Park (9/4), Dunstall Rambler (5/2), Universal Secret (10/3), Centara (11/2), Fox Wallace (80/1)

SIAM PARK is bred to make a better chaser and that already appears to be the case judged on his solid second on debut in this sphere at Taunton where he pulled nicely clear of the rest with the winner. He should prove a tough nut to crack with improvement on the cards. Paddy In The Caddy is holding his form well and should give another good account, while Centara needs to get back on track now switched to fences but it's by no means impossible that he'll do just that.
