Forecasts

Royal Prospect (5/2), Brazen Bolt (3/1), Retirement Beckons (4/1), Kiskadee (4/1), Desert Dream (11/2), Sharrabang (6/1), Bibbidibobbidiboo (7/1), Outtake (15/2), Willing To Please (16/1), Earn Your Stripes (16/1), Salam Zayed (33/1), Topflightsuperfly (200/1)

It would be something of an understatement to say that ROYAL PROSPECT caught the eye when fourth on his first attempt over this trip at Doncaster. Indeed, he probably would've won granted better luck-in-running and holds strong claims here down 1 lb in a lower-grade handicap. Recent Newcastle winner Brazen Bolt is second choice ahead of Retirement Beckons.
