Forecasts

Junoesque (9/4), Lunar Deity (10/3), Duke Of North (9/2), Zephyros (8/1), Khazix (17/2), With Approval (17/2), The Special One (12/1), Enzo (12/1), Iballisticvin (16/1), Fair Power (20/1)

LUNAR DEITY has been in good form on the AW of late and he can continue that by making a winning turf return in the concluding handicap. The selection can get the better of Junoesque who has won here in the past while third place can go to Duke Of North who ran a fair race at Windsor recently.
