Verdict

Lots with chances in a cracking sprint but it's impossible to side against MORE THUNDER, who looked a sprinter to follow when making a winning start over C&D for his new yard at the Craven meeting and can make light of a 5 lb penalty. Woodhay Wonder shaped well when third in that race and rates the main danger, although the resurgent Stanage and in-form pair Purosangue and Lethal Levi can both have a say too. Aramram completes the shortlist.

  1. MORE THUNDER (IRE)
  2. WOODHAY WONDER
  3. STANAGE
