Forecasts

Mr Colonel (4/7), Sea The Power (16/5), Unchartedterritory (8/1), Gaelic Approach (9/1), Northern Brave (20/1), King Of Roses (22/1), Yorkies Dream (33/1), Royal Baroness (150/1)

Richard Fahey's MR COLONEL shaped well when a debut second at Hamilton and gets a confident vote to go one better now with improvement very much on the cards from this son of Frankel. Newcomers Gaelic Approach and King Of Roses appeal on paper and can chase home the selection in that order.
