Forecasts

Bistouri D'honore (11/4), Shantou Tiger (7/2), Quieto Sol (9/2), Sammy B (13/2), Pads (11/1), Rocklim (11/1), Bowie (12/1), Calin Du Brizais (16/1), Apachee Prince (33/1)

Verdict

Time may tell that Bistouri D'Honore was a blot on the handicap off an opening mark of 115, but Paul Nicholls' gelding does have questions to answer after his Taunton flop and it may pay to take him on with another southern raider in QUIETO SOL who has been given a chance by the assessor considering there is clearly improvement in him. Shantou Tiger arrives here in excellent order and looks sure to make his presence felt while any each-way value may lie with Pads or Calin Du Brizais. 1. Quieto Sol 2. Bistouri D'honore 3. Shantou Tiger
