Forecasts

Colinton (10/11), Kitten's Dream (3/1), Running Cloud (6/1), Olympus (15/2), Temur Khan (12/1), Chef De Troupe (18/1), Magellan (22/1), Longville Lilly (25/1), Celtic Classic (50/1), Snap Chap (80/1)

COLINTON is thriving on racing, making it 4 wins from his last 5 outings at Newcastle 10 days ago, and he had enough in hand there to suggest he'll be hard to stop under a penalty. Kitten's Dream did too much too soon at Southwell last week so may emerge as the biggest threat back down in class, with Chef de Troupe best of the others.
