Forecasts

Ozone (5/1), Harvest Bow (6/1), National Guard (6/1), Arcturus (8/1), Cuban Surfer (8/1), Nikeandnemesis (8/1), Facethepuckout (10/1), Colfer Me (10/1), Royal Canford (12/1), Ideal Pal (12/1), Whitsunday Islands (14/1), Isle Of Shadows (16/1), Manard (33/1)

Plenty arrive in form for this contest and despite the rise in the weights NIKEANDNEMESIS can complete the hat trick. HARVEST BOW is a big threat providing she copes with this better ground than at Gowran on Monday while FACETHEPUCKOUT should be competitive despite his big weight.
