Forecasts

Lady Nectar (13/8), Rapid Russo (5/1), Jet Set Go (6/1), Excessable (13/2), Pearl Of Qatar (15/2), Prissy Missy (12/1), Sfumato (14/1), Hurstwood (14/1), Rebel Redemption (16/1), Restless Endeavour (28/1), Swiss Connection (28/1), Calin's Lad (40/1)

LADY NECTAR is hard to oppose after two comprehensive victories. She has to carry a 6 lb penalty for last week's success but that probably won't be enough to stop her hat-trick bid. Jet Set Go is still a lightly-raced mare and she is a significant danger after her second at Doncaster. Pearl of Qatar holds decent each-way claims.
