Forecasts

Gassin Golf (4/1), Subcontinent (5/1), Paddy's Poem (6/1), Balibour (7/1), Chieftain's Choice (7/1), Balgemmois (8/1), Georgieshore (8/1), Vicenzo Mio (10/1), Briac (16/1), Bazooka (16/1), Mr Fickle (25/1), First Quest (25/1)

A very tricky opener for punters, with none of them in red hot form of late and the suggestion is PADDY'S POEM, who looks to have got in for his handicap debut on a workable mark and he might be able to break his duck. Last year's winner Chieftain's Choice is respected from 5lb higher, while Gassin Golf is not ruled out and others considered are Vicenzo Mio and Bazooka. Keep an eye on the market with regard to both Mr Fickle and Subcontinent.
