Forecasts

Bring On The Band (2/1), Zamroudpour (9/4), Downdraft (13/2), Remmy D (8/1), Max Velocity (10/1), Born To Frolic (12/1), Tempestua (14/1), Patriot Affair (14/1), Lorente (16/1), Roland Song (16/1), Pillar Mountain (20/1), Paperback Writer (20/1), Bodacious (20/1), Iceni (33/1), Red Robin Rock (33/1), Wavepoint (33/1), Flying Debris (50/1)

Difficult juvenile maiden but one that produce a number of runners to follow over the winter on the AW. The improving BRING ON THE BAND has two solid runs to her name here and can get off the mark for powerful trainer/jockey combination. Interesting newcomers Zamroudpour from the Dermot Weld stable and Joseph O'Brien's Downdraft are likely to be popular in the market.
