Forecasts

Emily Post (13/8), Amazon Prince (7/2), Three Diamonds (5/1), The Menstone Gem (13/2), Churchill College (10/1), Samurai Sneddz (16/1), Woobay (18/1), Kanzino (20/1), Hegemon (40/1), Qweldryk (66/1), Hoi An Beach (125/1), Ferro D'orr (150/1)

EMILY POST ran a nice race on debut at Thirsk earlier in the month and she is likely to improve for that experience. Her yard has had a good year with its juveniles and she can add to the tally here. Amazon Prince sets a solid standard and he won't be far away on his best form. The Menstone Gem caught the eye at Thirsk on debut and he warrants respect too.
