Forecasts

Boy George (5/2), Heat And Dust (4/1), Lake Sand (9/2), Puffin Island (13/2), Laurentia (12/1), Chloellie (12/1), Smart Qibili (16/1), Lady Amalthea (16/1), Elevate (20/1), Dove Divine (25/1), Adace (40/1), Caribbean Spring (40/1), Havergate Island (80/1)

PUFFIN ISLAND was denied a clear run when behind Lake Sand over C&D 3 weeks ago so it wouldn't be a major surprise were she to reverse that form. Boy George finally got the job done over C&D last time and is a threat, while Lady Amalthea should have more to offer for Mick Appleby.
