Forecasts

Rainbow Rain (13/8), Highjacked (7/2), Malham Tarn Cove (6/1), Asadjumeirah (15/2), Obligatory (8/1), Golden Prosperity (9/1), Fiscal Policy (11/1), Parson's Meadow (14/1), Posh Maisie (50/1)

RAINBOW RAIN is more consistent than the majority at this level and can deservedly get his head back in front. Highjacked has a win and second to his name over C&D this year and may give Tracy Waggott's charge most to do ahead of Malham Tarn Cove.
