Forecasts

Poppy Field (7/4), Duchray (4/1), Amberdaay (4/1), Byefornow (6/1), Panama (15/2), Coco Hill (14/1)

AMBERDAAY was quite strong at the finish when fourth starting out at Nottingham, and with that experience unlikely to be lost on her, she could be the answer. Duchray was disappointing at Southwell but is a huge danger on his winning form at Pontefract, with Byefornow perhaps the pick of the newcomers.
