Forecasts

Paparazzi (5/2), Palace Guard (7/2), War Hero (5/1), Lucky Red (11/2), Dragon Girl (9/1), Patrick Joseph (12/1), Itschessnotchekers (12/1), Taylor Velvet (25/1), Matter Of Time (25/1), Pak Army (33/1), High Susie (33/1), Rockafilly (50/1)

Dragon Girl could be the one to grab the lead in the early stages here with possibly Matter Of Time and Taylor Velvet for company. Palace Guard is of major interest on his handicap debut following a break and three moderate maiden runs, along with the solid and consistent War Hero can both hit the frame behind PAPPARAZZI who has been raised 1lb for his ½L win last time out and another bold show looks likely here dropping back in trip.
