Thiago²⁴

Forecasts

Castan (9/4), Your Spirit (5/2), Kodi Dancer (10/3), Desert Illusion (11/1), Lukla (12/1), Jazzagal (16/1), Lola's Moment (16/1), Thiago (80/1)

CASTAN was only third off this mark at Carlisle but he continues to look well treated on his Musselburgh win (form worked out) and is given another chance. Kodi Dancer was a place behind the selection at Carlisle and may provide the chief threat ahead of Paul Midgley's Lukla.
