Amalfi Bay (1/1), Yagan (5/2), Arabescato (4/1), Tindrum (15/2), Spanish Persuader (200/1)

AMALFI BAY has been progressing this summer and he can take another step forward now he is upped in trip. He looks the type to improve for this trip and Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle so there is plenty to like. Yagan has form on this surface and stays the trip so he has to be considered too. Arabescato may follow them home.
