Forecasts

Thegreatestshowman (2/1), Giogiobbo (10/3), Slowmo (4/1), Dark Shot (8/1), Big Impact (9/1), King Of Stars (12/1), Duke Of Firenze (25/1)

SLOWMO pulled clear with a big improver when runner-up over this C&D last week and looks well treated from the same mark. Thegreatestshowman saw off Giogiobbo over C&D on Friday and there shouldn't be much between them again.
