Forecasts

Prince of Rome (11/4), Amazing Amaya (7/2), Munificent (4/1), Boom The Groom (9/2), Astrophysics (6/1), Coast (10/1), Janaat (11/1), Battle Point (20/1), Tidewell (28/1), Alya's Gold Award (40/1)

Tony Carroll holds a strong hand in this opener, with BOOM THE GROOM taken to snap a losing run at the expense of fellow veteran stablemate Astrophysics. Coast has quite a good recent record here and may prove best of the rest.
