Verdict
Topper Thornton is fancied to confirm recent course and distance running with Urban Kode but could find top weight SOLWAY DANDY (NAP) a tough nut to crack. He's become a real course specialist and is bidding for a hat-trick of victories over track and trip after beating Jack Albert and Urban Kode a shade cosily in May. Bank Bonus is back over his winning trip after three runs over 3m this year and warrants respect but Andhaar showed little on the Flat on his return to action and the others are all returning from a break.
