A case can be made for most here but THUNDERSTRUCK will have no stamina issues at this trip, scored with something to spare when last seen at Fontwell in May and retains scope to improve again. He is actually considerably better of at the weights with Drumlee Watar on that Fontwell running but the latter has subsequently looked a much-improved type in rattling up a hat-trick and putting in a good effort at Bangor last time. He's likely to go very well again but the Lavelle inmate is still preferred. Some Detail is impossible to leave out of calculations on the back of strong performances the last twice and he gets on very well with Tom Buckley. Liffeydale Dreamer is an each-way option.
