Forecasts

Amazing Amaya (11/4), First Excel (3/1), San Juan (13/2), Blackcurrent (17/2), Red Allure (10/1), Poppy Jag (11/1), Leo Minor (11/1), Dubai Paradise (12/1), Deevious Beau (14/1), George Thomas (18/1), Queens Road (20/1)

AMAZING AMAYA is a C&D winner and she was only just denied at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. Her yard seems to have turned the corner in recent weeks and she is taken to add to her C&D tally. Poppy Jag ran much better at Chelmsford last time and has to be considered. First Excel shouldn't be far away if he has got over his blip here on Friday.
