Path Of Thunder folded tamely in the Victoria Cup at Ascot while last year’s runner-up Tomfre would prefer some cut in the ground. Documenting returns to action with a chance and Oo De Lally will be sharper for last month’s reappearance.

Admiral D has won twice over 6f in Ireland and debuts for Richard Fahey’s yard on his return to action.
