Went on to place in Group 2 company following his maiden win over C&D in March last year. Likely to prove very hard to beat dropping considerably in grade having finished sixth in the St Leger last timeout.

Useful hurdler and the winner of a jumpers bumper over 2m2f at Kempton last month. Probably outclassed at Chelmsford subsequently and an interesting runner today.

Forecasts

Count Octave (1/2), Saroog (3/1), Max Liebermann (8/1), General Ginger (14/1), Firmage Burg (22/1), Summer Name (25/1), Archive (40/1), Kyoto Star (50/1), Wemyss Point (80/1), Wishmaker (100/1)

Verdict

The 111 rated COUNT OCTAVE looks to have a fair bit in hand on his rivals and he can make a winning four-year-old debut by taking the concluding event on the card. The filly Firmage Burg represents a useful jumps stable and can finish third on just her second start for them while Archive, a winner over fences last autumn can claim third.
