Verdict

LUCKY JIM scored at Wolverhampton last time and the runner-up has since boosted the form with a victory. Chris Wall's charge gets a tentative vote in an open contest as he should confirm running with Power Up. A few of these are looking to improve on recent placed efforts and Thunder Pass is the least exposed of them having finished second at Kempton on his handicap bow. Westerley was still well beaten when runner-up at Musselburgh but both Where's Tiger and Mister Uno have a shout off their current marks.
