Forecasts

Royal Velvet (10/3), Berkshire Nugget (4/1), Pitney (11/2), Sennockian (8/1), Glam Squad (9/1), Nakasero (9/1), Star Jasmine (11/1), Silver Trumpet (16/1), Escape Act (16/1), Candonomore (22/1), Devious Devan (40/1), Colorada Dancer (40/1), Never Fear (50/1)

This looks wide open but Andrew Balding's BERKSHIRE NUGGET rates the pick of the weights and with the likely good gallop sure to suit this free-going sort he is taken to gain a deserved maiden success. Doncaster-victor Escape Act appeals as a likely improver and is next on the list, although recent Yarmouth scorer Royal Velvet and C&D winner Sennockian also command plenty of respect.
