Verdict
Tim Easterby had the runner-up in this in 2011 and 2012 and the third last year from two runners. He saddles three this time and OUR THOMAS, placed in all four starts on the Flat up to 1m4f and a half-brother to the stable's useful hurdler Deepsands, can finally see the Great Habton trainer get one in the winner's enclosure, though stablemate Stormin Tom shouldn't be ignored. Quill Art and The Lampo Genie also both won on the level while Harley Rebel won on Polytrack at Kempton in the spring, though hasn't raced since May.
