Verdict

ZWICKY is a handicapper going the right way and can resume winning ways with Sean Quinlan back in the saddle. Paddy The Horse should be sharper for his chase reappearance and is now 3 lb lower than when winning a handicap here last season so he's second choice ahead of the low-mileage Beaumesnil.

  1. ZWICKY
  2. PADDY THE HORSE (IRE)
  3. BEAUMESNIL (FR)
