Forecasts

Amalfi Doug (6/5), Dead Right (2/1), Lord Napier (3/1), Red Giant (9/2), Boy's On Tour (15/2)

This looks wide open despite the small field and it may pay to take a chance on the returning DEAD RIGHT. Okay, he needs forgiving a lesser effort at Ayr in April but that came in a much stronger affair and with a very good record fresh to call upon, a much better showing is anticipated. Amalfi Doug goes particularly well around here and is feared most.
