Verdict

Strange though it seems the wide berths very much hold sway in this tough handicap and that means that from stall 20 the ever-improving THUNDERING BLUE is given the vote after his win at York last time where he showed his usual tenacity. Dash Of Spice will be popular after his Epsom Derby Day romp but he did have that race run to suit and whilst still improving may not have things all his own way here. Eynhallow was beaten by his stablemate Walton Street in Dubai over the winter but didn’t get the run of that race and he’s taken to reverse those placings here. Appeared has his quirks but he may be best caught fresh and he’s one for the shortlist along with topweight Blakeney Point.
  1. Thundering Blue
  2. Eynhallow
  3. Appeared
