Our Thomas (4/1), Caius Marcius (5/1), William Of Orange (8/1), Taweyla (8/1), Diamond Rock (9/1), Hartside (10/1), Crickel Wood (10/1), Vodka Wells (12/1), Cloud Monkey (14/1), The Grinder (16/1), Sigurd (16/1), Cave Top (20/1), Fiosrach (25/1)

A competitive event with Taweyla and Crickel Wood both very much respected now back on winning marks, Cloud Monkey being given a clear chance by the assessor and Vodka Wells being one who is well handicapped on both his old and also some more recent form. However, OUR THOMAS is not only on a good mark, he also has his preferred conditions and has winning C&D form, so with headgear taken as a positive he is the suggestion.
