Forecasts

Amalfi Coast (10/11), Diamant Damhsa (7/1), Impeachd Alexander (7/1), Arewecrystalclear (15/2), Distinct (10/1), Play By The Rules (14/1), Beerenberg (14/1), Cailin Cliste (20/1), Stickyourneckout (25/1), Atia Rose (40/1), Yokkell (50/1), Puzzle Factor (100/1)

AMALFI COAST has shaped with plenty of promise in 2 starts to date, keeping on well for second over 5f here 12 days ago. He's open to further improvement up in trip and can strike. Impeachd Alexander is a very appealing newcomer and worth a second look, whilst Arewecrystalclear and Cailin Cliste can also feature.
