Forecasts

Glam De Vega (4/6), Kaatibb (2/1), Wilkins (11/4), Desert Glory (5/1), Mr Heinz (28/1), Mister Charlie (100/1), Waud House (150/1), Rambling Prince (200/1)

GLAM DE VEGA offered definite signs of promise in a couple of back end novice/maiden events last term, latterly when runner-up to now useful King of Stars at Nottingham on his final start and he earns the vote to come out on top on return with the prospect of more to come. Kaatibb and Wilkins are others expected to feature.
