Forecasts

Lord Of Thunder (6/4), Tarras Wood (6/4), Canty Bay (9/4), Tinklers Hill (5/2), Outside Adesa (25/1), The Dark Edge (28/1), Kingoftheswingerz (50/1), Pescatorius (125/1), Lindaka (150/1), Tiger Blade (200/1), Stancheski (250/1)

Preference is for LORD OF THUNDER, who wasn't knocked about when an encouraging second here last month and appeals as a likely improver. Canty Bay and Tinklers Hill look the obvious dangers.
