Forecasts

Black Storm (85/40), Mags (16/5), An Mhi Abu (9/2), Princess Aurea (13/2), Lohengrin (13/2), Louiescall (10/1), Yaxchilan (10/1), Altimara (12/1), Tiffany Twisted (12/1), Profit Surge (33/1), Overdue Revival (33/1), Our Katie Girl (50/1), Silk Degrees (150/1), Sliogan (150/1)

Plenty with chances but PRINCESS AUREA didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a good C&D sixth last time out so edges the vote. Gavin Cromwell's in-form An Mhi Abu could emerge as the main danger on his first go on polytrack, with Yaxchilan, Black Storm and Louiescall all in the mix too.
