Global Thrill attracted some market interest when third at Doncaster last month and travelled well into the race. Citrus would have a chance in a race like this on his best form and so would Seven Summits but ACT FOUR (NAP) is fancied to overcome the penalty he received for winning at Warwick last week, where the drop back to 2m was clearly beneficial.
