Forecasts

Gormanston (2/1), Kudbegood (5/1), Amarantha (11/2), Lansing (8/1), Philly's Hope (9/1), Power Of Lazarus (9/1), Sansevero Chapel (12/1), Laurel Grove (14/1), Golden Days (16/1), Postcode Envy (18/1), Three Sevens (20/1), Hands Down (20/1), Majestic Matriarch (40/1), Airlift (40/1), Speckled Meadow (66/1), Yalla Go (125/1)

A few in with a shout here but LANSING is taken to build on his excellent recent second over 7f here and open his account at the chief expense of another relatively unexposed 3-y-o in polytrack-debutante Amarantha. Philly's Hope appeals as the pick of the rest and a solid place prospect.
