Forecasts

Sir Gregory (2/1), Colombe (3/1), Quanah (4/1), Canaria Prince (5/1), Mrs Bagerran (5/1), Elzaal (13/2), Sharrabang (18/1), Good Listener (20/1), Bobby Shaftoe (28/1)

COLOMBE has a 10 lb penalty to shoulder but has returned an improved model this term and is still fancied to complete her hat-trick and make it 3-3 in 2022. In-form Sir Gregory holds solid form claims and is next on the list, with Mrs Bagerran and Canaria Prince both shortlisted too.
