Forecasts

Falesia Beach (5/2), Amathus (5/2), Diamond Cottage (4/1), Ajrad (7/1), Bolly Bullet (15/2), The Cola Kid (10/1), Letter Of The Law (40/1)

FALESIA BEACH's recent form has a solid look to it and she could open her account today. Last year's winner Bolly Bullet lurks on a good mark and could revive, while Brighton-winner Amathus has to be respected under a penalty.
