Forecasts

Over The Rainbow (8/11), Nusret (9/4), Mighty Mo Missouri (8/1), Nemean (10/1), Engagement Ring (16/1), Winterscape (16/1), Actually (22/1), Monarchs Brae (25/1), Caramel Lizard (250/1), Saddle In The Rain (250/1)

OVER THE RAINBOW made a promising start when runner-up over C&D and is fancied to build on that and go one better at the chief expense of Nusret, who has the form to have a big say but might have to settle for second once more. Nemean appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
