Forecasts

Storm Melody (2/1), Amazing Amaya (7/2), Aguerooo (4/1), Bernie's Boy (6/1), Straffan (9/1), Precious Plum (10/1), Due A Diamond (28/1), Diamonds Dream (80/1), Hurricane Alert (125/1)

STORM MELODY followed last month's Wolverhampton success with a creditable effort in defeat at Kempton, and looks by far the most solid of these. Bernie's Boy is capable when on a 'going' day, but he's evidently not the most reliable of performers and bigger threats may be posed by Aguerooo and Amazing Amaya.
