      Verdict

      Thunderous represents last year’s winning yard though has disappointed since fourth in a Group 3 at Sandown in May behind runner-up Nate The Great. The latter has also been below par since and stablemate RANCH HAND is preferred. The latter makes a belated seasonal debut but won on last year’s reappearance and Andrew Balding’s charge also landed this contest in 2020. Recent Haydock winner Island Brave has a tougher task on these terms and Skycutter is another with plenty to find.
