Forecasts

Appier (11/10), Marbuzet (13/8), Gibside (3/1), Foreshadow (15/2), Thermometer (9/1), Carbonado (12/1), Resdev Thunder (33/1)

APPIER wasn't fully extended to land the hat-trick at Lingfield earlier in the month and this fast-improving gelding is likely to complete the four-timer without much trouble. Foreshadow and Marbuzet could fight it out if the selection fluffs his lines.
