Forecasts
Paddy The Squire (5/6), Sax Appeal (5/1), Melek Alreeh (5/1), Financer (7/1), Ribble Vibe (12/1), Mr Alan (18/1)
An interesting handicap despite the small field with the vote in favour of RIBBLE VIBE. He stepped up plenty on his reappearance/stable debut effort when third in a Newcastle handicap 13 days ago, whilst leaving the distinct impression there's an even bigger effort in his locker. That said, Old Newton Cup runner-up Paddy The Squire and Melek Alreeh are likely to give David O'Meara's 4-y-o plenty to think about.
