Forecasts

Aulis (6/5), Across Earth (9/4), Love Safari (6/1), Star Legend (8/1), Ace Rothstein (25/1), Buxted Too (33/1)

AULIS deserves a change of luck and can open his account in first-time blinkers. Across Earth, behind the selection at Haydock, can also find a race, while Ace Rothstein could bounce back to form returned to Yarmouth.
