Forecasts

Shades Of Midnight (8/13), Donna's Diamond (9/4), Castletown (7/1)

Verdict

There's no doubting that proven stayer DONNA'S DIAMOND will be vulnerable on quick(ish) ground over a slightly reduced trip following a game 2m7f+ Kelso win earlier in the month (beat Castletown by 2¼L). However, with the form of his previous Hexham run also appearing stronger with every passing week (handsomely franked since by Top Ville Ben), he should hold too many guns for his two rivals. Shades Of Midnight is the forecast play.
  1. Donna's Diamond
  2. Shades Of Midnight
  3. Castletown
