Forecasts

Saucy Encore (10/3), Cafe Sydney (4/1), Cafe Milano (5/1), Voi (15/2), Ruby Red Empress (8/1), Tebay (8/1), Merweb (12/1), Stormingin (14/1), Confab (16/1), Enmeshing (20/1), Regulator (22/1), Bruyere (22/1), Mr Dib Dab (25/1), Art Of America (125/1)

MERWEB's losing run is mounting up but his mark continues to slide, and he was ridden too aggressively 2 weeks ago. He could be worth chancing back up in trip, with Voi and Cafe Sydney others to consider.
