Forecasts

Hurtle (6/4), Mickey Donovan (11/4), Polly Pott (7/2), Lady Lavina (8/1), Starmas (11/1), Skybluegold (22/1)

In first-time cheekpieces, LADY LAVINA made most to get off the mark at Kempton 11 days ago, form which looks to be solid with the first three pulling well clear of the rest. She can follow up under a penalty on her handicap debut, with hat-trick seeking Polly Pott the main danger. Hurtle completes the shortlist on his nursery bow.
