Forecasts

Ottoman Fleet (11/10), Nations Pride (11/8), Zagrey (11/2), Annerville (33/1), Desert Fire (33/1), Daramethos (40/1), Good Fortune (40/1), Freescape (40/1), Withering (40/1), Aeonian (50/1), Midlife Crisis (100/1), Ursa Minor (100/1)

Verdict

OTTOMAN FLEET has been turned over at shorts odd here the last twice but he latterly shaped better than the distance beaten when third in the Singspiel Stakes. He is taken to get back on the winning trail at the chief expense of stablemate Nations Pride, who is preferred by William Buick and is greatly respected, despite his penalty. French-raider Zagrey is best of the rest.
