In depth

Verdict

Kodimoor led until inside the final furlong at Beverley 10 days ago but reserves his best for that track. Pearly Prince probably needs further but this is the ideal trip for TOYBOX (NAP), who beat Act Of Magic on worse terms at Bath around this time last year. Flower Of Thunder won in a canter at Yarmouth but has been raised 11lb and this is a slightly stronger contest.
