Verdict

Just the three runners are set to contest this classified stakes race and, provided that he is fit enough for his first outing of the season, Blazing Thunder should be too good for Terfel and Caught Out. The son of Zafonic improved for his debut effort when beating 21 rivals to land a Newmarket maiden last November and, with further improvement to come, he looks the one to beat. Michael Bell's Terfel rates the main danger on the evidence of his recent second to Lady Bear at Hamilton. Caught Out looks to be out of his depth.
