Forecasts

Sweet Bertie (9/4), Cap D'Antibes (5/2), Rainbow Mirage (13/2), Mr Mac (15/2), Cape Greco (8/1), Hellavapace (11/1), Winnetka (12/1), Ellie Piper (12/1), Courtside (14/1), Vice Royal (80/1)

CAP D'ANTIBES gave another good account of himself when runner-up at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and he looks the most persuasive option. Sweet Bertie retains handicap scope on old form and his Kempton run was a lot more like it, with Rainbow Mirage completing the shortlist.
