Forecasts

Rocket Warrior (3/1), Secret World (4/1), Salamanca Lad (5/1), Charlie's Choice (5/1), Visibility (11/2), Tribal Wisdom (13/2), Fast Steps (17/2), Polling Day (14/1), Ernie's Valentine (22/1), Destinado (50/1), Local Bay (66/1)

CHARLIE'S CHOICE looks back on a workable mark returned to AW and might be worth siding with on his return from a short break. Visibility's recent record is hard to knock and he's second choice ahead of Salamanca Lad.
