Verdict

Steelriver has a chance but was due to run at Lingfield yesterday. But LAWMANS THUNDER makes more appeal anyway after finishing a close-up third over track and trip beating Bluegrass Blues, Deauville Prince and Forceful Appeal in the process. Aqua Ardens can usually be relied on to run his race and went close again here three weeks ago. He has strong claims in this and Upavon is not without a shout off his current mark back over 7f. Goodwood winner Related was well beaten back at the same track in August and has his first start since.
