Verdict

Thorntoun Lady bids for hat-trick but the rise in class may beyond her after winning a couple of Class 5 sprints. Rita's Boy keeps finding at least one too good and has yet to win away from Southwell while I'll Be Good, Flash City and Master Bond failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won their previous starts. It remains to be seen how course and distance winner Shipyard gets on under a penalty and PEARL ACCLAIM (NAP) is preferred. He scored over track and trip in this grade last month with Money Team behind and David Nicholls' charge has been racing in better company since.
