Forecasts

Newfangled (4/1), Amerigo Vespucci (4/1), Bramble Jelly (11/2), Meet Me In Meraki (6/1), Beach Point (7/1), Clear Justice (7/1), Running Deal (14/1), Keen Interest (18/1), Weston Court (25/1), Tomorrow Day (28/1), Escape The Grape (33/1), C'est Encore (33/1)

Making his first start on turf for his current yard, AMERIGO VESPUCCI showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces when battling well for success at Yarmouth 13 days ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. Newfangled also took his form up a notch on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of Beach Point.
