Thundersquall was still beaten a long way when second at Kempton though finished clear of the rest. He’s been gelded since but the Godolphin charge is taken on with CANDY SHACK, who will appreciate this longer trip after finishing fourth behind much better opposition than this over 1m4f at Newbury and an apprentice’s allowance further helps her cause. Country Pyle is the most exposed having been beaten in handicaps recently with the remainder hard to recommend.
