FOR RITA has won seven times between the flags including her last two very easily. She has an experienced pilot on board and can gain her first success under Rules. Doctor Tom isn't the most consistent and only two finished when he won on the point-to-point course here last month. Oval Street is a three-times winner but ran poorly here last time but Raleagh Flora made all for a very easy victory at Godstone and could provide the main threat.
