In depth
Verdict
Thunderpoint has plummeted in the ratings and has to be considered as a live danger at this level; despite concerns that he may struggle to get home on the ground. However, Begsy's Bullet in contrast will relish a test of stamina and may be the more reliable option. He was still going well when falling here last time and if that event has not left any mental scares, he could gain some compensation today. Robin¿s Pride may give him the most to do.
