Forecasts

Buddha Boy (5/2), Sweetasever (6/1), Sheisdiesel (7/1), Rounding (7/1), Lady Rosebud (8/1), Pronounced (9/1), Olly's Folly (12/1), Sweet Fragrance (12/1), Less Of That (14/1), Steelyeyed (20/1), Ebbageena (20/1), Ragged Company (22/1)

BUDDHA BOY stepped forward on his handicap debut to score here last month over 6f, leading most of the way and repelling some challengers late in the piece. He should have more to give and can confirm placings with three rivals. Lady Rosebud and Rounding can get involved again but Pronounced might have enough to improve past those rivals now as the one of his trainer's two in this race. Stablemate Sweetasever shouldn't be discounted for her polytrack bow either having won at Gowran Park in the summer. 1. Buddha Boy 2. Sweetasever 3. Pronounced
