Forecasts

Walking On Air (6/4), Silver Flyer (10/3), Pounding Poet (6/1), Erne River (13/2), Getalead (12/1), Doyen Breed (14/1), Sirobbie (16/1), Uhtred (33/1), Kansas City Chief (40/1)

WALKING ON AIR is still unexposed and, if he strips fitter for his reappearance at Aintree and gets the longer trip, he should be hard to beat. Pounding Poet is likely to arrive with a customary late run and Silver Flyer can't be discounted despite a lesser effort at Carlisle a month ago.
