Verdict

THUNDER WONDER had plenty in hand at Musselburgh last Saturday and will take a bit of stopping under a penalty if coping with the quickish turnaround. Ralph Beckett's Seraph Gabriel should have more to come this season and is second choice ahead of The Lost King for in-form Andrew Balding.

  1. THUNDER WONDER (IRE)
  2. SERAPH GABRIEL (IRE)
