Forecasts

Cheeky Stanley (9/4), Gorgeous Mr George (7/2), Thurso (9/2), Rage Of Thunder (9/2), Piranha Rama (10/1), Blewburton (11/1), Ballsgrove Boy (14/1), Dr Ali (14/1), Bust A Moon (20/1), Up The Monk (33/1), Apple's Angel (66/1), Cracking Man (66/1)

THURSO raised his game when runner-up on his first start since being gelded at Windsor recently and, provided that he is able to reproduce that level of form back on the all-weather, Richard Hughes' charge could be the answer. He may have most to fear from the lightly-raced Cheeky Stanley, who dug deep when opening his account by a neck from the re-opposing Bust A Moon at Chelmsford last time. Ballsgrove Boy also enters calculations.
