Forecasts

Mohaayed (5/1), Winter Escape (5/1), Tommy Silver (7/1), L'Ami Serge (8/1), Sceau Royal (8/1), London Prize (10/1), Ozzie The Oscar (10/1), Chesterfield (12/1), Zubayr (12/1), Peace And Co (12/1), Bertimont (18/1), Hawk High (20/1), Traditional Dancer (33/1), Vosne Romanee (40/1), Baltimore Rock (40/1), Intense Tango (50/1)

Verdict

L'Ami Serge is a great yardstick after his County Hurdle run. He is usually at his most potent on softer going and is also thoroughly exposed, in spite of his class. Therefore, the suggestion is to take him on with SCEAU ROYAL, who has a huge claim to benefit from and ran as well as could be expected in the Champion Hurdle last time. Stablemate Winter Escape can also go well, while Chesterfield is feared after his tremendous run at Aintree and Ozzie The Oscar also has improvement in him. Of the remainder, Mohaayed should go well and if there is to be a fly in the ointment than an attractively-handicapped Peace And Co could be the one.
  1. Sceau Royal
  2. Ozzie The Oscar
  3. L'Ami Serge
