Verdict

There are stamina doubts over a few of these, but not so Spiritual Star, who should remain competitive now back in a handicap. Even so, he is vulnerable. Archangel Raphael is interesting and a market check is advised for he, Handytalk and Bumptious on a surface that should suit. They could all be in the mix here, though preference is for THUNDERING BLUE, who goes well enough here and if you can forgive him a flop on turf last time, he looks to have decent claims.
  1. Thundering Blue
  2. Bumptious
