Forecasts

Juno Star (15/8), Rogue De Vega (9/4), Colors Of Freedom (5/2), Forest Gunner (4/1), Back Before Dark (10/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (22/1), Sarabi (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.

  1. BACK BEFORE DARK
  2. JUNO STAR (IRE)
  3. FOREST GUNNER (IRE)
