Forecasts

Thawry (5/6), Mr Carbonator (9/2), Badessa (9/2), Maldonado (13/2), Siyahamba (9/1), Cheap Jack (12/1), Sharp Reply (16/1), Grand Pianola (18/1), Break The Silence (33/1), Carriesmatic (40/1), Ingleby Exile (100/1), Poniel (250/1)

THAWRY was a wide-margin winner at his first attempt on this surface over C&D 9 days ago and should prove hard to beat under a penalty. Badessa is unexposed heading into handicaps and is a potential danger, with Mr Carbonator and Sharp Rely best of the others.
