Forecasts

Eklil (4/5), God Of Thunder (9/4), Just A Tad (10/3), Chequer Square (9/2), Already Gone (17/2), Lightening Gesture (28/1)

GOD OF THUNDER stuck to his task really well when runner-up again at Nottingham 9 days ago, and with this a slightly easier band of handicap, he could be the answer. Eklil and Just A Tad are the obvious threats.
