      Verdict

      THUNDER BLUE finished strongly for second at Haydock on his debut and can go one better in this. Sennockian went close over the minimum trip at Ayr on his introduction and this extra distance should suit while Soldier's Secret is a half-brother to six winners and is a newcomer to note along with the 260,000gns purchase Warm Spell.
