Forecasts
The Bay Birch (11/4), Midnight Target (7/2), Tara Mist (9/2), Socksy (5/1), Aunty Ann (7/1), Sheer Poetry (10/1), Pretty Reckless (18/1)
The Bay Birch will be a popular choice as she chases a hat-trick, but she has been winning on much softer ground and has shot up the weights. Pretty Reckless is interesting fitted with cheekpieces and cases can be made for Aunty Ann, Midnight Target and Sheer Poetry, but the recent Haydock race in which SOCKSY and Tara Mist were second and fifth may hold the key. The selection may find further improvement in blinkers and is taken to confirm the form.
- Socksy
- Tara Mist
- Pretty Reckless
