Forecasts

Straits Of Messina (7/2), Ding Ding (9/2), Jade's Legend (9/2), Bohernagore (6/1), Cosmic Diamond (7/1), Amron Kali (11/1), Willshebetrying (14/1), Thundering Home (16/1), Silver Ticket (25/1), Vent Nivernais (33/1), Blake Dean (40/1)

Verdict

THUNDERING HOME has failed to shine this winter but he hinted at a revival last time out and he's very well-handicapped on old form so if he can build on that run, he may take all the beating. Bohernagore finally got off the mark over course and distance last time out and he looks good value for his 6lb rise. Champion Jockey Richard Johnson rides Straits of Messina for the first time today and he has a tendency to eek out a little improvement from horses in this grade, so with the horse being in reasonable form he's one of the more reliable types. 1. Thundering Home 2. Bohernagore 3. Straits Of Messina
