Verdict

LIGHTING THUNDER looked a sure-fire winner when a promising runner-up in a big-field Newbury maiden on his return so gets the nod here over Romanticizing, who also shaped well when a debut Kempton third and shouldn't be underestimated for his top yard. Qarreeb and Midsummer Storm can fight it out for minor honours.
