A 4lb rise for his success over the stiff seven furlongs at Beverley last month looks perfectly fair for Voodoo Moon who has claims stepping up to a mile for the first time but it may be worth taking a chance with Thunder Storm Cat, with We'll Come rated the pick of the remainder. The selection ran encouragingly on his return at Newbury last month but with improvement for that outing anticipated, he looks worth a bet at the likely odds. Danebury Hill did not progress as much as anticipated at the Craven meeting last time, while Aqmaar is closely matched with the selection on running at Newbury but is less likely to improve for the run as John Dunlop's runners have been going well first time out. The lightly raced We'll Come from the in-form yard of Michael Jarvis has to be of interest on his debut in this grade but Thunder Storm Cat is expected to build on teh form of his seasonal reappearance and he gets the vote.
