        Verdict

        Headshot has been in good form over a mile at Bath but FLOWER OF THUNDER has further improved this year. She went close over track and trip before beating Surrey Princess at Leicester and is only 3lb higher today. Sun Festival won at Wolverhampton before struggling over a longer trip at Musselburgh while Bayston Hill is back on a winning mark and placed here last time without threatening the winner.
