Forecasts

Thanksforthehelp (2/1), Tiger Jet (4/1), Oscar Thyne (4/1), Rafferty's Return (9/2), Foster'sisland (14/1), Zabeel Champion (14/1), One True King (14/1), Ashington (18/1), Could Be Trouble (25/1), Ballycallan Fame (50/1), Benny's Oscar (50/1)

Verdict

TIGER JET is progressing well this season and remains on a fair mark, so is preferred to Thanksforthehelp, who made an encouraging handicap debut at Punchestown in the spring. Oscar Thyne caught the eye on his belated return for a new yard at Cheltenham so is another to consider.
