Forecasts

Dorothy Lawrence (2/11), Batal Zabeel (6/1), Whogoesthere (11/1), Pilgrim (16/1), Lazareti (66/1), Nana's Ancestors (150/1)

It's impossible to ignore the claims of DOROTHY LAWRENCE who has been placed at listed level on her last 2 starts and should have little difficulty getting off the mark dropped to a maiden. It should be a closer run thing for the forecast spot, with Batal Zabeel narrowly preferred to Whogoesthere. The two newcomers also make paper appeal and it would be no surprise to see them involved in the battle for minor honours too.
