Forecasts

Star Caliber (4/5), Vin Rouge (7/2), Taqseemaat (9/2), Tynwald (17/2), Pretty Sweet (22/1), Little Jessture (40/1), Welsh Wayne (125/1)

STAR CALIBER looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut in a warm Goodwood maiden in September and this looks a good opportunity for him to get back on track having pulled too hard in a listed event at Epsom on return. Vin Rouge stepped up on his debut when third at Salisbury and can follow the selection home.
