Thunderoad has been in good form over longer trips at Brighton and this is easier than his latest task. Carmela Soprano also drops down in distance after finishing second here while Bellevue Lad won over 7f at Musselburgh before placing at the same track. ITSALLABOUTLUCK has yet to win but was beaten only a neck over track and trip last time and it might be his turn today. Ruby Lily has more scope than most and may prove best of the rest.
