Verdict
On Demand never threatened when third over track and trip last week and is still looking for his first win over timber. Orion's Might has had 26 attempts over timber without success though he was second at Ludlow on his latest start in this grade and should be thereabouts. PANIS ANGELICUS has not been at his best recently but won this last year off an 8lb higher mark and Tim Vaughan’s charge may well bounce back today. Stablemate Tidestream should be sharper for a recent comeback run while Thundering Home won over a shorter trip here back in May but remains 5lb higher.
