Forecasts

Storm Venture (9/4), Colnago (5/2), Zaman Jemil (9/2), Insolente (13/2), Look Back Smiling (10/1), Drafted (14/1), Monte Forte (16/1), Spirit In My Soul (18/1), Deguello (28/1), Mint Edition (40/1), Witchford (66/1), Countess Kess (150/1)

STORM VENTURE produced a promising first effort amidst greenness (also lost a shoe) when fourth at Chester, meeting some trouble but faring best of the newcomers, and can put that experience to good use. Karl Burke is having an excellent season with his 2-y-os so Colnago is a newcomer to note, while Insolente has claims on her Carlisle form.
