Forecasts

Amalfi Coast (9/4), Harmony Rose (9/4), Charlie De Rio (11/2), Porsche Cavalier (13/2), Benevolent (8/1), Volarossa (10/1), Strapped (16/1), Speedacus (25/1), Butterfly Stream (25/1), Cherry Bloom (33/1), Mister Wilson (50/1), Caleta Sunrise (100/1)

The speedily-bred AMALFI COAST failed to justify strong market support on his recent debut at Navan, but he shaped with considerable promise nonetheless and can be expected to take a sizeable step forward here with that experience under his belt. Harmony Rose made an encouraging start to her career at Tipperary last month and she is feared most ahead of Porsche Cavalier and Charlie De Rio.
