Forecasts

Lumenbourg (3/1), Cancan In The Rain (7/2), Tea Sea (4/1), Thursday's Child (5/1), Mark's Choice (10/1), Thorntonledale Max (12/1), Noisy Music (14/1), Berry Clever (22/1), My Mate Mike (25/1), Dooley (28/1)

THURSDAY'S CHILD wasn't seen to best effect at Kempton last time and is worth another chance off a tempting mark. Lumenbourg is the obvious threat having resumed winning ways in dominant fashion at Doncaster, with Tea Sea best of the others.
