Forecasts

Szarratu (5/4), Windsorlot (11/2), New Look (13/2), About Glory (13/2), Mdina (8/1), Headley George (17/2), Pearl Spectre (11/1), Zuckerberg (20/1), Blairlogie (25/1), Hard Toffee (40/1), Purple Sandpiper (80/1), Sea Willow (100/1), Miss Pollyanna (100/1)

SZARRATU got off the mark for new connections at just the second attempt last weekend and she can continue her progression with another victory. Headley George has fewer miles on the clock than many in here and could improve to play a part. Windsorlot is one to consider for each-way backers.
