Forecasts

Colors Of Freedom (2/1), Auntie Jo (3/1), Sir Benedict (9/2), Kipp Kelly (5/1), Sultan Of Oj (5/1), Global Effort (10/1), Second Collection (12/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (12/1), Nordic Games (20/1), Rogue Endeavour (25/1), Inconspicuous (50/1)

Joe Ponting's mare COLORS OF FREEDOM is fancied to garner a fourth C&D victory on the back of her good runner-up effort here only three days ago. Auntie Jo should strip sharper for her Newastle fourth after an absence and is next on the list, although Sir Benedict and Sultan Of OJ could also have a say in an open-looking contest.
