Verdict
Miami Thunder has been in good form over a mile here while Painters Palette won over the latter trip at Redcar. Bashful included a course and distance success in an earlier treble while Storm Catcher has good strike rate on the Polytrack and debuts on this surface. Sandown winner New Dayrell, Bint Al Daar and Moonspirit are others worth a second glance but ROARING GALLAGHER (NAP) ran well at the Curragh on his first start gelded and return from a lay-off and a bold bid is expected from Joseph O’Brien’s grey.
