Orchestral Rain was soon beaten when odds-on on his debut for Richard Newland at Fontwell and looks one to be wary of. THUNDER KING was beaten 20 lengths when second at Southwell but that experience will not have been lost on Amy Murphy’s Flat winner, who holds Fraterculus on that run and can go one better here. Bam Bam is making his racecourse debut and looks nothing special on breeding.
