Forecasts

Theo (11/10), Bistouri D'honore (3/1), What A Scorcher (5/1), Treasure The Ridge (10/1), Gone Platinum (14/1), Towering (16/1), Scorpion Star (16/1), Panis Angelicus (20/1), Gannicus (20/1), Retrieve (40/1)

Verdict

Theo and Bistouri D'honore arrive in good form and with solid claims of being able to defy their current marks. Both have gone well off higher in the past and their yards are in form. For the selection we like WHAT A SCORCHER who is yet to run a bad race here and comes in form from the Flat. The mare handles any going and looks well enough treated to suggest she will run a good race at attractive odds.
  1. What A Scorcher
  2. Theo
  3. Bistouri D'honore
