Forecasts

Laughton (3/1), Kingstreet Lady (9/2), Groundworker (5/1), Optimickstickhill (8/1), Windforpower (9/1), Sienna Says (10/1), Kibaar (12/1), Cuppacoco (14/1), Shesthedream (14/1), Canford Bay (16/1), Dangerous Lady (20/1), Dundunah (33/1), The Hoppings (50/1)

Verdict

As always on quick ground at Thirsk, a high draw near the stands side rail is essential. There should be no shortage of early pace with the under-performing Kibaar, and last week's Nottingham second Optimickstickhill both likely to set a good gallop. Those who should profit late as a result include Laughton and Windforpower, but the exasperating GROUNDWORKER is drawn nearer to that early pace in stall 10, and this looks primed to be his day for a first turf success since July 2015.
  1. Groundworker
  2. Laughton
  3. Kingstreet Lady
