Forecasts

My Monty (7/4), Release The Kraken (5/2), Lady Mendoza (5/2), Native Moon (10/3), Arctic Lodge (4/1), Hammer Dan (15/2)

LADY MENDOZA made a promising return from a break when second to an improver at Musselburgh in November and, with more still to offer as a stayer, she looks to hold leading claims if taking up this engagement. My Monty produced one of his better efforts when fourth at Warwick 15 days ago and is next on the list, ahead of handicap-debutant Native Moon.
