Forecasts

Parramount (11/8), Beau Balko (2/1), Norley (5/1), Amelia's Dance (10/1), Bashful Boy (12/1), American Gerry (14/1), Privatory (16/1), Petrastar (18/1)

PARRAMOUNT missed all of last term but has created a really positive impression over hurdles since his return and looks to have been let in rather leniently on his handicap debut. Norley is unpenalised for his recent Southwell success and poses a serious danger to the selection, whilst Beau Balko is a much-respected handicap newcomer for Paul Nicholls.
