Forecasts

Swincombe Fleat (9/4), My Keepsake (5/2), Robin Des Theatre (7/2), Simply Supreme (9/2), Sandaroc (9/2), Speech Bubble (17/2), Lime Drop (12/1), Picara's Promise (14/1), Fern Arable (18/1), Mac Nan (28/1), Maid On Mendip (40/1), Cuchaviva (200/1)

ROBIN DES THEATRE cost £50,000 after landing her sole start in an Irish point and, while she'll be better over obstacles in time, she might well possess enough ability to make a winning start under Rules in an interesting bumper. My Keepsake is an obvious danger on the back of her pleasing debut and Swincombe Fleat represents a stable that excels in this sphere, so she's on the radar, too.
