DAAFR (NAP) put another winner on the board for Antony Brittain’s in-form yard when scoring over a shorter trip here with Al Ozzdi in close attendance and Roller finishing further back. Rated 89 at this time last year, the former should cope with a 3lb rise and the longer trip may also suit. Thunderoad has now placed on his last three starts including a second over course and distance but 19 outings so far without a win is off-putting while the selection’s stablemate Beatbybeatbybeat won at the track last month but never figured back here last time along with Iconic Code.
