Forecasts

The Reverend (10/11), Thunder Run (5/4), Urban Lion (8/1), Beaming Light (33/1), Zous Juice (40/1), Appeal To Glory (50/1), Oligopoly (50/1), Harrington (80/1), Leveche (250/1)

THE REVEREND created a good impression when scoring first time out at Newmarket 8 months ago and he's worth a chance to maintain his unbeaten record under a penalty. Thunder Run shaped well behind a stablemate of the selection on debut at Haydock and he's open to a good deal of improvement, so he's the obvious threat.
