Forecasts

Magic Saint (3/1), No Comment (4/1), Whatswrongwithyou (9/2), Lady Buttons (5/1), Bun Doran (9/1), Chesterfield (12/1), Solar Impulse (12/1), Ashoka (12/1), Theo (16/1), Tree Of Liberty (20/1), Double W's (25/1), Ardmayle (33/1), Dicosimo (33/1), Vengeur De Guye (40/1), Western Miller (66/1)

Verdict

Another very competitive event to close proceedings. Plenty of these are capable of winning if at their best, with Bun Doran, Lady Buttons and Magic Saint among them. Double W's ideally wants the ground to dry, while Theo, No Comment and Dicosimo are others with each-way claims. However, ASHOKA, may still have scope for more from this mark and is the suggestion.
  1. Ashoka
  2. Lady Buttons
  3. Theo
