Forecasts

Thunder Run (11/4), Tawajjah (7/2), City Of Poets (5/1), Night Breeze (15/2), Tony Montana (8/1), Sportingsilvermine (8/1), Touch The Moon (10/1), Old Harrovian (12/1), Pathein (20/1), Flying Frontier (20/1), Port Of London (25/1), Bunyola Bay (33/1), David Of Athens (50/1)

A case can be made for plenty of these but top-weight THUNDER RUN is taken to gain a deserved first success of the season after a series of very good efforts in top handicap company. Windsor scorer City of Poets remains unexposed at this distance and could emerge as the main danger, although Irish challenger Touch The Moon and the handily-weighted Tony Montana also need factoring in.
