Forecasts

Overnight Oats (3/1), Autumn Rose (7/2), Bint Havana Gold (9/2), Bomb Squad (13/2), Diddy Man (15/2), Romanovich (9/1), Plumette (11/1), Thanks Dad (12/1), Heavenly Fire (28/1)

OVERNIGHT OATS notched his fifth success from 13 starts for the James Owen yard when scoring at Southwell recently and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Bint Havana Gold was beaten a length into third behind Autumn Rose over this C&D last weekend and, now 3 lb better off, she is taken to turn the tables on that rival this time. Romanovich completes the shortlist.
