Forecasts

Rumoroso (1/1), Urabamba (3/1), Carcaci Castle (11/2), Copia Verborum (8/1), Purdey's Gift (11/1), Bred That Way (25/1), That's Me Finished (25/1), Moakland (50/1), Pittsburg (200/1)

RUMOROSO showed the benefit of his belated return/yard debut when third in a Ballinrobe maiden (22f) in May. That was still some way short of what he achieved in France but he may yet have more to offer here and gets the nod in an ordinary affair. Urabamba and Purdey's Gift head up the dangers.
