Forecasts

Verdict

Plenty of these have question marks hanging over them, but Cantkidakider and Graney Town have shaped well recently and should be able to be competitive at this level. The selection, though, is DANCING DUKE, who has revealed glimpses of ability over hurdles and showed he was in good heart on his latest start on the Flat. Of the rest, Posh Frock could be dangerous from her falling handicap mark.
  1. Dancing Duke
  2. Graney Town
  3. Cantkidakidder
