Forecasts

The Big Dog (5/2), Midnight Maestro (7/1), Nick Lost (7/1), Screaming Colours (9/1), Se Mo Laoch (11/1), Tokyo Getaway (11/1), Discordantly (11/1), Born By The Sea (11/1), Moyhenna (12/1), Thermistocles (14/1), High Sparrow (16/1), Spades Are Trumps (16/1), Roaring Bull (18/1), Smoking Gun (25/1), Out Sam (33/1), General Principle (33/1), Dounikos (40/1), Castle Oliver (40/1), Monbeg Notorious (50/1), Alpha Des Obeaux (50/1), Fenno's Storm (50/1)

This stiffer test promises to suit SCREAMING COLOURS, who is an improving low-mileage 10-y-o. Nick Lost proved he retains his ability after a long absence at Thurles and is another to consider along with the unexposed The Big Dog.
