Thrust Control won at Southwell a week ago and there are doubts if he can reproduce that form back on Polytrack. Thunderball beat Jake The Snake to win a claimer here last time but has risen 8lb in the weights as a result and preference goes to OCEAN LEGEND. Tony Carroll's charge shared the spoils with the progressive Bowmaker when dead-heating over C&D last month but is fancied to hold off today's rivals for outright victory with Richard Hughes taking over the reins. The Scorching Wind is not out of this if he can avoid one of his frequent slow starts and Space Station is worth noting on his reappearance.
