THUNDER BOX (NAP) has the stand-out form in this. Isai Gonzalez’ four-year-old couldn’t cope with the late thrust of Spotitude here last month but there was clear daylight to the remainder, several of whom re-oppose, and it will be disappointing if he can’t go one better in this. Stef’s Guy probably has place claims again and there should be more to come from Unshackled Cross but Tekela’s Glory is hard to catch right.
