Forecasts

Lord Baddesley (5/2), Gemirande (3/1), Paint The Dream (9/2), Sebastopol (13/2), Zanza (8/1), Espoir De Guye (9/1), The Big Bite (12/1)

A case can be made for all of these but PAINT THE DREAM goes really well round here so is taken to repeat his success in this event 12 months ago having lost nothing in defeat when trying to keep tabs on Pic d'Orhy in a Kempton Grade 2 last time. Recent-scorers Gemirande (second choice) and Lord Baddesley both have the potential for further improvement and command plenty of respect but might end up taking each other on, while Espoir de Guye can't be dismissed for his new yard after a wind op.
