Forecasts

Amtiyaz (11/10), Utile (6/5), Kitzbuhel (4/1), Going Underground (6/1), Billy Bathgate (66/1), Hajey (80/1), Sir Taaj (300/1)

UTILE created a positive impression on debut at Kempton last month before being pitched into listed company at Bath. She can be forgiven that disappointment and can get back on track in calmer waters here. Amtiyaz is progressing steadily and will be her main danger.
