Forecasts

Innovated (7/4), Tempo Chapter Two (5/2), Hollow Sound (7/2), The Gradual Slope (11/2), Black Sirius (7/1), Hammersmith (11/1), Fiston Des Issards (18/1), Getaway Missile (150/1)

TEMPO CHAPTER TWO had little chance with a useful stablemate at Tramore last month but he beat the rest readily and can go one better here. Innovated is open to plenty of improvement and can offer most resistance.
