Forecasts

Volkovka (13/8), Windswept Girl (2/1), Ordered Lives (13/2), Little Else (13/2), Saddlers Quest (15/2), Storm Katie (12/1), Gold Leader (40/1), Quietlyflowsthedon (40/1), Familiar Spirit (80/1), Who Told You (200/1), Yashims Girl (250/1)

It's hard to look beyond VOLKOVKA, who put in a good shift when third in a listed race at Doncaster last month, form which is head-and-shoulders above anything these rivals have achieved. A line can be drawn through Windswept Girl's latest effort here and she is clear second choice ahead of fellow bumper winner Little Else.
