Verdict

THANK THE LORD had previously done all his winning over the minimum trip but returned a convincing winner over course and distance a fortnight ago and can go in again. Starsong finished in front of Daytona Lady when going close at Wolverhampton but Legende d‘Art’s recent second here came over a longer trip. Sir Rodneyredblood has returned to a winning mark and can pop-up at any time.
