Forecasts

Loch Ness Monster (4/7), Royal Big Night (9/4), Dazzling Dan (8/1), Brandon (20/1), Alatia (25/1), Dancing Jaquetta (40/1), Lonimoss Bareliere (50/1), Coach Party (200/1)

With natural progression to be expected from debut, this should go the way of the Mick Appleby-trained LOCH NESS MONSTER. In staying on late from off the pace at Pontefract (6f), he gave backers of the 4/9f Blown By Wind a brief scare, and with that winner now rated 95, he sets the target for the others to aim towards in this very winnable looking maiden.
