Forecasts

Lord Church (5/2), Thor's Hammer (11/4), Old Faithful (4/1), Cloud Seeker (9/2), Man Of Worth (13/2), It'sonlyjustbegun (8/1), Seti (12/1), Alfheim (40/1)

THOR'S HAMMER rates the pick of these weights on the back of his good Listowel third and is taken to resume winning ways. Lord Church is enjoying an excellent season and next on the list with Old Faithful and Cloud Seeker also firmly in the picture too.
