Forecasts

Thunder Rock (1/5), A Distant Place (6/4), Garde Des Champs (9/2), Everyday Champagne (12/1), Songofthelark (22/1), Brandy Mcqueen (33/1), Lord Roco (33/1), Bebside Banter (50/1), A Day In Donostia (150/1)

This looks to rest between improving duo THUNDER ROCK and A Distant Place with marginal preference for Olly Murphy's ready Wetherby scorer over Jonjo O'Neill's Hereford maiden winner. Keith Dalgleish's ex-Irish recruit Garde des Champs appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
