Forecasts

Colors Of Freedom (9/4), Juno Star (7/2), Forest Gunner (4/1), Back Before Dark (5/1), Rogue De Vega (11/2), Sarabi (20/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (25/1), Second Collection (33/1), Symbol of Hope (50/1)

Verdict

BACK BEFORE DARK was nearer last than first back from a 12-week break at Newcastle recently but she should be sharper now and will be a serious player if the first-time blinkers do the trick. Juno Star is feared most, with Forest Gunner and Colors of Freedom also shortlisted.
