Forecasts

Mister Fisher (5/4), Soldier Of Love (7/2), Rhythm Is A Dancer (9/2), Sebastopol (9/2), Oakley (10/1), Cilaos Glace (10/1), Ebony Gale (14/1), Manvers House (25/1), Gaelic Poet (25/1), Savanna Roar (33/1), Starjac (50/1), Lucky Accord (66/1)

Verdict

Probably a decent bumper with Mister Fisher looking the most interesting of the newcomer contingent. Emphatic point-to-point winner Sebastopool and Ascot runner-up Soldier of Love have already demonstrated their potential but both have softer ground to contend with here, so RHYTHM IS A DANCER gets the vote. Paul Nicholls' gelding comfortably beat everything bar Sevarano in a decent-looking bumper on soft ground here last month and, with natural improvement, should prove a tough nut to crack.
  1. Rhythm Is A Dancer
  2. Soldier Of Love
  3. Sebastopol
