Forecasts

Sarah's Verse (5/2), Della Mare (7/2), Rainbow Mirage (4/1), Soldier's Son (13/2), Delagate The Lady (7/1), Fard (10/1), Shani (22/1), Isabella Ruby (33/1), Starchant (40/1), Al Verde (50/1)

Mark Rimell's RAINBOW MIRAGE shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggested when third at Lingfield 12 days ago, unable to muster the speed of the first two having been forced to make her challenge very wide. With better luck in running, she can get back to winning ways. Della Mare is feared most having got off the mark at Kempton last month, ahead of Sarah's Verse.
