Forecasts

Bard Of Brittany (5/2), King D'Argent (11/4), Sastruga (15/2), Ask Himself (9/1), Sir Egbert (9/1), Karakoram (12/1), Petit Palais (12/1), Pop The Cork (16/1), Ishyaboi (16/1), Jembug Drummer (33/1), Sticky Situation (40/1), Briac (50/1)

Verdict

After completely losing his position primarily due to his ponderous jumping SASTRUGA rallied remarkably well at Uttoxeter to finish second. He must jump better to take advantage of a mark clearly well within his capabilities but he is worth chancing to do so. The biggest danger may be Bard Of Brittany who probably would have won again last time out if running off his true mark rather than under penalty. Karakoram has only won once but if he keeps knocking at the door that ought to change soon.
  1. Sastruga
  2. Bard Of Brittany
  3. Karakoram
