Forecasts

Arzaak (9/4), Scale Force (5/2), Samovar (10/3), Slowmo (13/2), Knightcap (12/1), Red Stripes (16/1), Oeil De Tigre (25/1)

SLOWMO showed good speed before weakening late on over 6f here 10 days ago. He's taken to gain his first win in handicap company with the drop back to the minimum trip looking sure to suit Antony Brittain's charge. Samovar's mark continues to fall and he's taken to chase the selection home, ahead of Scale Force.
