Forecasts

Peppay Le Pugh (4/1), Thundering Home (5/1), League Of His Own (5/1), Skylark Lady (7/1), Lady Longshot (8/1), Karl Marx (8/1), Chivers (8/1), Norphin (12/1), Whipcrackaway (14/1)

Verdict

On his old form Thundering Home is well-handicapped but he’s only showed glimpses of that old form of late. Lady Longshot needs to settle better to be seen to best effect while Skylark Lady could be given a chance on her Fakenham runner-up effort. In the end CHIVERS earned the vote dropping back to a bare 2m which looked to suit him on his penultimate start where he could have gone even closer if ridden a little more patiently. 1. Chivers 2. Skylark Lady 3. Lady Longshot
