Verdict

THUNDERING HOME won over track and trip last month with Ahlawy well beaten, and was beaten less than a length by the in-form Daniel Thomas at Lingfield last time. He can return to winning ways here with winning partner David Kenny back on board. Magic Millie won three times earlier this year but has lost her way of late and Maslak makes more appeal as he's holding his form well and went close again at Southwell last week. Time Square steps up a grade but could still prove best of the rest.
