Verdict

THUNDER CRASH made a winning start in handicaps over this C&D last month and could be capable of another improved showing here. A 4lb rise is not excessive and blinkers are added now in an attempt to bring out some more improvement. Inescapable has gone well in two starts this season and is weighted to be in the mix here while Lovemenot has demonstrated enough in three maidens to warrant respect for this handicap debut. Wild Irish Rose, just held over C&D last time, is another to be considered.
  1. Thunder Crash
  2. Lovemenot
