Forecasts

Erosion Risk (7/4), Katar (11/4), Universal Grace (5/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (15/2), Wiley Post (8/1), Suanni (16/1), Lion Ring (22/1), Battle Point (25/1), Rewilding (25/1), Storm Melody (28/1), Miss Marianne (40/1)

KATAR seemed to benefit from a return to AW when runner-up at this course a fortnight ago and he's worth a chance to finally break his maiden tag from a handy mark. Recent C&D winner Universal Grace looks a major threat and Tilsworth Ony Ta isn't without hope.
