Forecasts

Katakana (10/3), Someone's Wish (4/1), Due Course (5/1), Bobbi Gin Tree (5/1), Tuckmill (7/1), My Policy (10/1), Warm In Gorey (12/1), Sea Road Fill (16/1), Eco Pete (22/1), Halla Paroiste (33/1), What's Lariat Now (100/1)

DUE COURSE scored readily in a handicap hurdle last time and appeals as the sort to make a better chaser, so he gets the nod over fellow chasing debutant Bobbi Gin Tree. Sea Road Fill is the better of the pair with chasing experience.
