Erosion Risk has placed in nine of 12 outings so far and looks worth taking on again with HIGH OVATION (NAP). The latter finished fourth at Kempton on last month’s debut behind a winner rated 79 and any improvement on that should see the Haggas colt go close. Restrict steps back up in trip with a shout while Nahwand returns to action with better expected from him this year.
