Forecasts

Skydiving (11/8), Duke Of North (11/4), Lord Clenaghcastle (6/1), Golden Nectar (7/1), Treacherous (8/1), Another Boy (12/1)

The hat-trick seeking DUKE OF NORTH receives weight from all of his rivals and he can take the concluding race on the card. The selection has been in great form in recent weeks and looks capable of getting the better of Golden Nectar who was narrowly beaten on her most recent appearance. Top weight Lord Clenaghcastle can step up on his previous efforts this season and take third.
