Forecasts

Puffin Island (11/4), Aiguillette (9/2), Trepidation (6/1), Jenson Benson (15/2), Equisential (8/1), Beepeecee (9/1), Vino Santo (9/1), Chloellie (12/1), Arlo's Sunshine (14/1), Big Bard (16/1), The Mehmas Touch (16/1), Map (40/1), Departmentalize (100/1), Patrioctic (100/1), Silky Sixty (100/1)

VINO SANTO has yet to win a race, but he reacted really well to blinkers when third at Lingfield a fortnight ago and is now an appealing candidate from the same mark. Puffin Island was just edged out by Aiguillette at Lingfield last month but may well reverse the form this time and is feared most.
