Forecasts

Good Show (2/1), Two Brothers (7/2), Wandering Rocks (9/2), Faylaq (9/2), Cumulonimbus (6/1), Heights Of Abraham (13/2), La Pulga (8/1), Wickywickywheels (9/1), Onesmoothoperator (14/1)

The low-mileage GOOD SHOW can build on his sound third here earlier in the month and notch a second C&D success. Newmarket raider Wandering Rocks should strip fitter for his AW reappearance and is feared most ahead of last week's Chester runner-up Two Brothers.
