Verdict

A low-mileage 4-y-o, THAPA VC did well to force a dead-heat in a messy race at Wolverhampton (7f) 23 days ago, notably quickening up well. From a 1 lb higher mark, he looks sure to go well again in his bid to land the hat-trick. Soyounique arrives in good order himself and is feared, whilst Rajmeister is not one to write off back from a break.
