Forecasts

Ossco (5/2), Great Aim (3/1), Miss Thoughtful (4/1), Simply Silca (8/1), Oasis Song (10/1), Wa'ad (14/1), Stopnsearch (14/1), Lisbeth Salander (16/1), Koovers (33/1), Village Rock (33/1), Heleta (33/1), Goodman Square (50/1)

MISS THOUGHTFUL showed promise on debut at Goodwood recently and she can break her maiden with victory in this novice event. The selection can get the better of Ossco who is the most experienced runner in the field and finished runner-up on his most recent appearance while third place can go to newcomer Great Aim who's stable have had a couple of AW winners from a handful of runners this campaign.
