Forecasts
Thickthorn Tom (5/4), Lady Kara (5/2), It's A Breeze (10/3), Quick Sharpener (13/2), McGregors Charge (10/1)
THICKTHORN TOM typically didn't do a great deal once hitting the front when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Worcester 6 weeks ago but given he travelled supremely well for much of the contest, Dan Skelton's charge should still prove competitive form 5 lb higher. He gets the nod over It's A Breeze, who has been raised 15 lb for winning a couple of weak C&D races last month. McGregors Charge can fill out third.
