Verdict

This looks a strong event of its type assuming some of the unraced runners are capable of the form their pedigrees promise. Of those, the Godolphin newcomer One Ruler, Thunder Sun, a 450,000 gns purchase from the Stoute yard, and Flyin' High, who can count a couple of high-class winners among his siblings, appeal most, but experience is often key, and while THIRD KINGDOM failed to justify support on debut, he will be much wiser now, and the extra furlong is very much in his favour.
  1. Third Kingdom
  2. One Ruler
  3. Thunder Sun
