THERMAL COLUMN has been running consistently well since returning from a lay-off and won again at Wolverhampton last week. He has 6lb extra to carry but none of today's rivals inspire much confidence. Chefchaouen has claims on her earlier second here and Repechage was runner-up at Bath before disappointing when favourite at Brighton. Ela Goog La Mou scored over track and trip in October but never figured off today's higher mark last time and Mfiftythreedotcom's win at Ripon in August came in a lowly seller.
