Forecasts

Maylah (3/1), Marchetti (9/2), Royal Heart (11/2), Secret To Success (13/2), Giant Steps (13/2), Dillydingdillydong (10/1), Fact Or Fable (12/1), Connemera Queen (20/1), Miss Connaisseur (20/1), Hey Pretty (20/1), Infinite Appeal (66/1), Dodgy Bob (80/1)

GIANT STEPS shaped as if still in good form when third over C&D 10 days ago, running on late having had plenty to do turning for home, so he could be able to return to winning ways this time around. Marchetti is feared most after producing her best effort of the year last time, ahead of Fact Or Fable, who could bounce back after a break.
