Forecasts

No Thanks (5/2), Falak (10/3), Nightly Wailing (4/1), Leahman (17/2), Final Orders (14/1), Sam Missile (16/1), Persian Lion (16/1), War Eagle (16/1), Happy Lad (25/1), Last Judgment (25/1), Dusty Winds (25/1), Haunting Vocals (25/1), Mountain Fox (28/1), Mandarin Monarch (33/1), Cliara (40/1), Match My Fire (50/1), Macho Mover (66/1)

NO THANKS was last seen on the Flat back in October 2019, but his wellbeing is in no doubt following a wide-margin victory over hurdles at Down Royal 2 weeks ago. He is potentially well treated back in this sphere and gets the nod ahead of Falak, who returned to form when striking over C&D in January. Persian Lion and Sam Missile both have each-way claims, while Final Orders is also shortlisted.
