Forecasts

Golden Gift (9/4), Faire Part Sivola (3/1), Steady Away (7/2), Sadlermor (11/2), Down To The Sea (10/1), Mr Woolley (11/1), Jimal Magic (14/1), Where's Tom (25/1), Stimulating Song (40/1), Nighthawker (50/1)

As usual in a race of this nature the market ought to be informative. GOLDEN GIFT was an expensive buy and represents a yard with a 25% strike rate in bumpers on this track and who are 9-24 in bumpers this term. Sadlermor comes from another stable that have been doing well in these events this term, whilst Steady Away, Mr Woolley and Where's Tom are out of very good mares and either could spring a surprise for their less fashionable trainers. For a more sporting wager Faire Part Sivola could offer some value given the current form of the trainer and a dam who was a multiple winner of 1m4f bumpers in France.
