      Verdict

      Nine Elms, an easy course and distance winner in June, has a chance in this off bottom weight. Zoom Zoom Babe shouldn’t be far away again at the opposite end of the handicap but THUNDER FLASH still looks fairly treated, despite a couple of victories at Leicester, and Ian Williams’ five-year-old can complete the hat-trick. Calcutta Dream may be best of the rest as Divine Comedy and Dewey Road may be best on artificial surfaces.
