Forecasts

Military Girl (3/1), Educating Rita (10/3), Toota (4/1), Almanjoor (9/2), Lady Luzon (6/1), Rex Carver (9/1), Brooke Winder (11/1), Dark Thunderstorm (12/1)

Michael Dods is responsible for the only prior winners in the field and his pair stand out, with MILITARY GIRL narrowly preferred to stablemate Educating Rita. Toota ran a fine race in first-time hood at Pontefract last week and is shortlisted alongside Lady Luzon, who steps into nurseries from a fair-looking mark.
