Forecasts

Connoisseur (9/4), Born To Spend (11/4), French Mix (4/1), Light Of Air (9/2), Happy Ending (13/2), Oceanus (7/1), Lifeboat (7/1), Windsorlot (8/1), Gracie Stansfield (12/1), Four Fifty Three (14/1), Shalamzar (50/1)

Locally-trained LIGHT OF AIR can defy top weight to take the concluding race on the card. The selection won here last month and can get the better of French Mix who was placed in an amateur riders event last time out. Third can go to Born To Spend who impressed when winning under this rider last time out.
