Forecasts

Beat The Edge (13/8), Dr Shirocco (7/4), Duke Of Deception (2/1), Warriors Story (6/1)

Verdict

None of the quartet can be ruled out but the vote goes to DUKE OF DECEPTION who looks ahead of his mark and is taken to bounce back in style from his C&D fall last time. The consistent Beat The Edge is feared most, although Dr Shirocco can have a say too in a tightly-knit handicap.

  1. DUKE OF DECEPTION (IRE)
  2. BEAT THE EDGE (IRE)
  3. DR SHIROCCO (IRE)
