Verdict

Wild Thunder won an amateurs' race by a wide margin at Nottingham a week ago but is upped in trip and raised 6lb. CLAN JOCK is preferred as he was given too much ground to make up when third at Beverley last time but scored over track and trip before that and is reunited with winning partner Tadhg O’Shea. He’s preferred to stablemate Lochnaver but Samurai Sneddz won at Carlisle earlier and will appreciate the return to this longer trip.
