Forecasts

Amanda Hug'n'kiss (5/6), Nafee (3/1), Depart A Minuit (8/1), Dark Flyer (17/2), Autumn Festival (14/1), Stylish Whispa (22/1), Mitsy Mop (33/1), Croeso Cynnes (50/1), Brave Lily (100/1), Ballynaveen Boy (150/1)

The market should prove revealing here, but AMANDA HUG'N'KISS sets the bar quite high and is taken to defy her 7 lb penalty and bag a second victory on her first go on tapeta. David O'Meara saddles two newcomers and his Depart A Minuit is favoured and rated next best, with Kempton-sixth Dark Flyer appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
