Forecasts

Count Of Amazonia (7/4), Plantadream (2/1), War Glory (6/1), Pistoletto (10/1), United Front (14/1), Home Before Dusk (16/1), Sir Maximilian (22/1), Salateen (50/1)

PLANTADREAM is still progressing despite failing to add his tally back on the AW in recent weeks and returned to 1m, he seems sure to give a very good account. Count of Amazonia looks a shrewd claim at 18,000 gns given his C&D win 3 weeks ago and he defends an unbeaten AW record, so is feared most.
