Forecasts

Vaguely Royal (8/11), Clan Chieftain (11/2), Escarpment (7/1), Seendid (9/1), St Just In Time (10/1), Wild Hurricane (14/1), Berkshire Sundance (33/1), Miller Spirit (40/1), Eloped (50/1), Whitcombe Rockstar (150/1), Snow Forecast (150/1), Mini Mildred (250/1)

VAGUELY ROYAL couldn't lay a glove on the winner when second at Newmarket but he stuck on to beat the rest comfortably and rates a useful prospect. St Just In Time made a promising start when runner-up at Windsor and is next best ahead of Escarpment, who might have found his Doncaster run coming too soon.
