Forecasts

Nibras Rainbow (4/1), Roman Harry (5/1), So Messi (6/1), Distillate (7/1), Arthur Rose (17/2), Leabaland (9/1), Sayfa Fad (10/1), Drafted (12/1), Zero Fighter (12/1), Draiocht (16/1), Hell Left Loose (20/1), Haughty (25/1), My Minervina (33/1), Ledger (33/1), Plastic Paddy (66/1)

Colin Keane takes the ride on ROMAN HARRY who has largely been in good form this summer and might prove the answer to the first division of this handicap. Arthur Rose had a ready excuse last time and is shortlisted from a mark which shouldn't be beyond her. It's probably also a matter of time beofre Nibras Rainbow clicks for the Gavin Cromwell stable.
