The Thunderer scored at Wolverhampton in April then missed the break before staying on at Goodwood. Tudor's two victories at the backend of last year were on the Polytrack at Lingfield but BOOKMARK is on a 3lb lower mark than when scoring at Doncaster last summer. Ground conditions are in favour of the latter who has been narrowly beaten the last twice. Restorer landed a Class 2 handicap here in 2020 but hasn't won since while Haarar prefers a bit further.
