Forecasts

Powerful Response (9/4), Platinum Girl (11/4), Midnight Flame (11/2), Tamay Girl (17/2), Bonkersinabundance (9/1), Slingsbytoo (11/1), H Key Lails (12/1), Ubettabequick (22/1), Havanawing (50/1), The Muffin Man (66/1)

PLATINUM GIRL took a step forward when second in a 15-runner event at Doncaster on return and, with an easy lead likely in this lesser race, she gets the nod ahead of Midnight Flame, who wasn't disgraced at Catterick a month ago. Slingsbytoo is also worth a mention in first-time headgear.
