Forecasts

Rapier (15/8), Groveman (5/2), Oasis Fantasy (3/1), King's Proctor (5/1), Azari (12/1)

The drop back in class can see GROVEMAN return to winning ways with the step back up in distance also a positive. The selection is making his AW debut here and can get the better of the consistent Oasis Fantasy who can register another placed effort. Rapier receives weight from all of his rivals and he is taken to claim third.
