Forecasts

Divine Jewel (10/11), Amzaan (11/4), Thanks Monica (5/1), Miss Down Under (7/1)

AMZAAN pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Wolverhampton last month and still looks on a good mark following a 3 lb rise, so she's taken to go one better. Divine Jewel is an unexposed handicap debutante who remains capable of better, especially now stepping up further in distance, so has to be feared.
