Forecasts

Albegrey (11/4), Golden Sands (10/3), Libby (4/1), Piastrella (9/2), Fylde Coast (6/1), Cubanista (7/1), Gibside (14/1), Honest Lawyer (14/1), Min Till (16/1), Thakuri (28/1), Kata Heart's (28/1), A Better World (66/1)

LIBBY shaped well behind the penalised Piastrella over C&D 18 days ago, and given she's a big, unfurnished filly, there should be plenty more to come, so she's taken to get the better of that rival this time around. Albegrey caught the eye at Thirsk and is open to further improvement, while Cubanista is likely to have learnt plenty from his initial outing and shouldn't be overlooked either.
