THORPE BAY scored over course and distance before a below-par effort at Nottingham last time. He gets another chance back on this surface and can confirm running with fourth-placed Very First Blade. Mary's Pet found only one too good here last month and she has a shout on that form while Flow Chart's best recent effort came when third over track and trip with Man Of My Word well behind. Ridgeway Hawk has a bit to find with a couple of these so Loyal Royal may prove best of the rest.
