Forecasts

Goldslinger (7/4), Heron (5/1), Mount Cleshar (5/1), Dalasiri (5/1), Banff (8/1), Crindle Carr (12/1), Sheila's Fancy (12/1), Woofie (20/1), Montycristo (33/1), Southern States (33/1), Moans Cross (50/1), Avantgardist (50/1), Dancing Dragon (50/1), Madame Mime Artist (80/1)

Top weight HERON can break his maiden in the concluding race on the card. The selection ran well over 1m6f last time out and can get the better of Sheila's Fancy who ran well off a higher mark over this trip earlier this year while third can go the way of Mount Cleshar who has an interesting jockey booking for a shrewd yard.
