Forecasts

Highfield Viking (5/4), Showtime Mahomes (9/2), Russco (6/1), Bowman (15/2), Mutanaaseq (8/1), Vondelpark (12/1), Run This Way (25/1), Sluzewiec (33/1), Slingsbytoo (40/1), Redrosezorro (80/1)

SHOWTIME MAHOMES signalled he's ready to go close when a promising Southwell fifth and can now capitalise on a lenient mark. Bowman is on a long losing run but looks the one to give Grant Tuer's top weight most to do. Highfield Viking is also in the mix in this open handicap.
