Forecasts

Kyllachy Warrior (11/4), Ustath (16/5), Honey Gg (4/1), Thegreyvtrain (6/1), Popple (15/2), Amazing Amaya (12/1), Newgate Angel (14/1), Heartstar (40/1), Viking Way (50/1), Diamonds Dream (200/1)

AMAZING AMAYA has to be tuned up after 7 months off but she did score on the back of an absence at this track last year, so she looks the best option in a tricky, low-grade affair. Kyllachy Warrior and Thegreyvtrain both arrive in reasonable form and could pose the main threat to the selection if taking to the new surface.
