Forecasts

Affwonn (5/4), Moohareeba (9/4), Ricksen (10/3), Wannabe Betsy (11/1), Night Ranger (12/1), Followthestars (50/1), The Boola Bee (150/1), Real Terms (200/1), Quella Cosa (200/1)

MOOHAREEBA is bred to be well above average on AW and was clearly in need of experience when a promising third on debut at this course 9 months ago, so she's fancied to improve past Ricksen, who sets the standard based on his second at Beverley on final outing for Iain Jardine. Newcomer Affwonn is also one to note.
