Forecasts

Amalfi Doug (11/10), John Mor (3/1), Supreme Steel (10/3), Thepensionfund (8/1), Ripstick (20/1)

Amalfi Doug is the one to beat on form, but he's going to have to hump a big weight around on ground that might be a little deeper than ideal for him, and he could be vulnerable. Thepensionfund and JOHN MOR are the unknown factors here, and the latter is very interesting as he looks sure to do better over fences and the booking of Richard Johnson (who has a 23% strike rate when riding for them) needs taking note of. Supreme Steel has been well backed a couple of times this season but his finishing effort has left plenty to be desired, and he's a risky proposition at present.
