Forecasts

T Maxie (2/1), Bonita B (4/1), Battle Point (9/2), Taaqat (11/2), Pure Charmer (9/1), Miss Shirley (10/1), Sparked (14/1), Seven Springs (25/1)

T MAXIE was a good second in a maiden at Kempton on her qualifying run and has undergone a breathing operation since, so she's fancied to make a successful handicap debut after a break. Taaqat, who hasn't had much racing, could have a bigger effort in her, so she's feared most ahead of Battle Point.
