Forecasts

Rock On Harry (6/4), Not Long Left (5/2), Benny Silver (10/3), Kioto Sun (11/2), Cometh The Hour (6/1), Ito Ditto (8/1), Bensini (10/1), Our Flying Angel (12/1), Hurrican Dream (50/1)

NOT LONG LEFT was picked up for a hefty some after a promising debut in points and, while his shrewd new trainer tends to bide his time, this son of Presenting might well have enough ability to make a successful start. Benny Silver and Kioto Sun are also respected based on pedigree/connections.
