KODIAC THRILLER has found some improvement since dropped to the minimum trip, opening his account at Thirsk in May and making the frame on each of his 3 subsequent runs in stronger company. He looks a big player again and earns the vote ahead of Duran, who has the plum draw and sights lowered. Rosenpur is another player.
