Forecasts

Classy Al (10/3), Ahamoment (9/2), Chookie Dunedin (5/1), Emily Post (5/1), Monhammer (5/1), Go Sing (6/1), Impulsive Reaction (17/2), Merricourt (9/1), Angel Amadea (20/1), Tangled (33/1)

AHAMOMENT found improvement when opening his account at Musselburgh earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He can follow up in the finale. Chookie Dunedin and Merricourt rate the principal dangers.
