      Verdict

      A runner-up the last twice, THUNDERSTONE failed to threaten the winner on either occasion but pedigree suggest this longer trip will suit. An apprentice’s 7lb allowance further helps his cause and he gets the vote. Naflah failed to improve at Newmarket having earlier shown promise at Ascot and also steps up in trip along with Chase That Dream, who is fitted with a visor today. The remainder are more exposed and harder to recommend.
