Forecasts

Varene De Vauzelle (4/6), Three Colours Red (5/1), Rainbow Haze (11/2), Gask Ridge (8/1), Balkinstown (12/1), Dotties Dilema (12/1), Mister Dick (14/1), Bermeo (14/1), It's A Steal (20/1), Who Am I (25/1), Buckontupence (25/1), Syracuse's Dream (33/1), Beaumont's Party (50/1), Cinevator (50/1), Notonebuttwo (66/1), Faith Jicaro (66/1)

The keen going Mister Dick will possible lead here with Rainbow Haze and Balkinstown in pursuit. Those at the top of the market, Rainbow Haze, Three Colours Red and Bermeo should be on all shortlists, with Gask Ridge possibly causing the most concern to the selection, VARENE DE VAUZELLE, second of 10 on stable debut, who are in red hot form and Jamie Codd booked.
