        Verdict

        Thunderbolt Rocks needed every yard of the extended mile at Wolverhampton in November to get his head in front and makes a belated reappearance but STAR SHIELD scored with a bit to spare over today’s trip at Redcar earlier this month and Roger Varian’s colt is fancied to defy a penalty. Juthoor ran better over track and trip in June than he did over a mile at Haydock last time and Shawaamekh could figure but Tangasseri and Box And Co have plenty to find with the selection.
