Verdict

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand with THUNDER ROLL and Harsh. The former is the definite form pick on her third to Rosscarbery in a Cork Group 3 and, though that was over 1m4f and she could find this on the short side, she'll be difficult to beat. The latter had some strong juvenile form but has been gelded since a disappointing reappearance on heavy ground at Leopardstown. Starry Eyed has also been racing in heavy conditions which may not have suited though she never looked like winning a Leopardstown handicap last time. Tommy Thug looked a bit one-paced at Down Royal and needs more while the Sea The Stars filly Sumiha is making a belated debut. Dubawi Delight ran very well over the track and trip in May then didn't stay 1m5f at Leopardstown.
