Forecasts

Big Boy Bobby (5/6), Junoesque (11/4), Knowing (7/2), Summer Valley (9/2), Gold Souk (8/1), Fascinating Shadow (12/1), Cafe Sydney (16/1), Tara Iti (28/1)

BIG BOY BOBBY still didn't look the finished article when runner-up at Nottingham a month ago and with headgear likely to help him in the finish, he looks the way to go. Junoesque notched up another Brighton win with a gutsy display on Wednesday and has to be respected if turned out again quickly.
