Forecasts

Dun Faw Good (3/1), Voyage A New York (7/2), Oscar O'scar (4/1), So Satisfied (4/1), Log On (11/2), Havana Jack (7/1), Tikkandemickey (7/1), Always Tipsy (14/1), Beau Sancy (28/1), Jackofhearts (40/1)

Verdict

OSCAR O'SCAR only just missed out last time at Sedgefield and in a race where there are question marks about most of his rivals he looks the safest option. Top weight Always Tipsy has been dropping in grade and could bounce back to form any time soon, while So Satisfied is quite capable of getting in amongst them. Course specialist Havana Jack is respected although ground conditions are a concern for him.
  1. Oscar O'scar
  2. Always Tipsy
  3. So Satisfied
