Forecasts

Colour Sergeant (7/4), Jeroboam (15/8), Zozimus (16/5), Lough Derg (11/1), Equus Deus (16/1), Ratib (22/1), Guitar Man (33/1), Oh Say (50/1), Chicago Bear (66/1), Supposedtobe (66/1), Colonel Sellers (66/1), New Reality (66/1), Tiffany's Gold (125/1), Drish Venture (250/1)

Plenty of well-bred newcomers on show here, but this looks an ideal opening for COLOUR SERGEANT to finally get off the mark having filled the runner-up spot in his last 4 outings. Jeroboam improved plenty from his debut when second here 9 days ago and he should feature, while the market should guide expectations for Ratib, Lough Derg and Guitar Man.
