Forecasts

Buttsbury Lady (16/5), Olympic Honour (9/2), Born In Borris (5/1), Oxwich Bay (11/2), Shutupshirley (13/2), Sermando (15/2), Steady Away (12/1), Teddy The Knight (12/1), Of Corse I Can (16/1), Sarsen (18/1), Phoenix Risen (20/1), Optimistic Belief (25/1), Prince Cleni (33/1), Lord Bill (33/1), Pixie Loc (40/1), Kracquer (50/1), Kalpaga (50/1), El Diablo (66/1)

Verdict

Consistency certainly isn't SERMANDO's forte but this would be one of the easiest assignments he has faced to date and, now 12 lb below the mark off which he gained his sole success in this sphere, Jonjo O'Neill's charge is worth chancing in an open-looking race. Buttsbury Lady showed enough when returning from 16 months off at Uttoxeter to suggest that she retains plenty of ability and is feared most ahead of Olympic Honour.

  1. SERMANDO (FR)
  2. BUTTSBURY LADY
  3. OLYMPIC HONOUR (FR)
