Forecasts

Portelet Bay (9/2), Honey Pot (9/2), Little Sunflower (5/1), Run Forrest Run (6/1), Thistleton (6/1), Greycious Girl (17/2), Bearwith (10/1), Neminos (10/1), Apache Jewel (12/1), Whatitizz (18/1), Arid Steel (33/1)

THISTLETON took a big step forward when a clear second here last week and can race off the same mark so looks the way to go. Recent Lingfield scorer Greycious Girl rates the obvious threat with Honey Pot and Portelet Bay appealing as best equipped to fight out minor honours.
