Forecasts

Manuha (9/4), Silky Smooth (9/4), Crocodile Roll (3/1), High Court Judge (7/1), Carouselle (9/1), Stamford Blue (22/1), Grand Central (50/1)

Verdict

SILKY SMOOTH won with a fair bit up his sleeve on his nursery debut at Southwell 16 days ago and, with that form proving strong, a 6 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. Crocodile Roll is feared most ahead of Manuha.
