Forecasts

Paisley Park (11/4), Noble Yeats (3/1), Dashel Drasher (4/1), Botox Has (13/2), Champ (7/1), Strong Leader (11/1), Flight Deck (20/1)

PAISLEY PARK has yet to get his head in front this season but has gone with all his old verve in two narrow reverses so this remarkable stayer is fancied to bag a fourth Cleeve Hurdle victory. Dashel Drasher is another most likeable hurdler but he again might have to settle for runner-up spot. Flight Deck, Champ and Botox Has can't be discounted either in a cracking Grade 2.
