Forecasts

Orinoco River (5/4), Hms Endeavour (9/4), Drombeg Banner (10/3), Ernest Rutherford (10/3), Memory Motel (8/1), Pepper Streak (9/1), Jedi Power (14/1), Daintree (50/1), Linger For Longer (150/1)

ORINOCO RIVER showed fairly useful form on each of her first 3 starts and with her latest effort at listed level easily overlooked (stumbled badly around halfway) she's fancied to put up a bold bid back in calmer waters. That said, both HMS Endeavour and Drombeg Banner shaped encouragingly on their respective debut runs and can give the selection plenty to think about.
