Forecasts

Thaki (11/4), Gigi's Beach (9/2), Rockley Point (5/1), Billy Wedge (13/2), Glorious Charmer (7/1), Shamarouski (7/1), Paddy Power (10/1), Kilconquhar (12/1), Desert Dream (14/1), Leo Minor (33/1), Mutafarrid (40/1)

THAKI caught the eye when returning from wind surgery at Wolverhampton last month. He wasn't beaten far after a troubled passage and being still relatively lightly raced, he should improve again. Rockley Point is a regular in these events and should give his running. Glorious Charmer also could play a part in the finish.
