Forecasts

Thunder Rock (2/1), Irish Blaze (85/40), Grey Skies (3/1), Clondaw Hollow (13/2), Grey Market (20/1), Peaceful Sunday (22/1)

GREY SKIES impressed with his strength at the finish when scoring at Kelso last time and further improvement is likely from Donald McCain's gelding back in trip. The strong-travelling Thunder Rock should find this an easier task than the EBF Final, whilst Irish Blaze created a fine impression on debut and isn't ruled out in a strong race of its type.
