Thank you Aquagility, I'm just trying to widen my horizons and do something apart from the DTGK and Herculis.

If you are still on line Aqua could you explain the prognostication answer so that I can get to grips please??

It's an anagram of croat stooping in. The anagram is indicated by variable.
Chambers crossword dictionary ISBN 0-550-10081-4 has a good introduction which will help you get into cryotics as well as being an excellent reference source.

As Aquagility hasn't come back, and as you're probably hoping for an answer, I hope you'll both excuse the intrusion. Words like 'variable' in a clue often suggest an anagram, and the letters of 'Croat stooping in' can be mixed to form Prognostication.

Stick with it!
