    Verdict

    C'mon Kenny has won a bumper so this extra distance should not be a problem after landing an apprentices’ race over 1m2f at Sandown last time. He escapes a penalty for that success while Tim Easterby’s yard has won three of the last four renewals and Carrigillihy was awarded a race by the stewards’ at Ripon recently. He passed the post just behind OUTBACK BOY on that occasion having been carried across the track by the latter but Mark Johnson’s charge gets another chance with William Buick taking over the reins today. Charging Thunder is open to improvement over this longer trip and is preferred of the rest.
