Thunder Roar

9st 11lb

J: Tom Eaves

T: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood

He's dropped to a mark 8lb lower than when winning at Ayr (1m, soft) last September; however, he's been a long way below his best this year, including on his favoured soft/heavy ground on his last three starts.

J: David Nolan

T: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood

Well suited by soft/heavy ground; generally well below form this term, most recently in Ayr race that he'd won off a higher mark 12 months earlier; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time visor.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood

Well backed when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago; 3lb lower today and although this year's efforts have been modest, he had a break before his reappearance 19 days ago and will be fresh for his autumn campaign; high on the list.

Form & Verdict
Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high).

Multiple winner who is familiar with stronger handicaps than this and he was beaten under 3l in a big field last time at Newbury (7f); won his last race at this level in May, over 1m and off the very same mark.

Landed the 12th win of his career (including one over C&D) at Newmarket (1m, good) in May but hasn't hit the same level in five subsequent runs; has dipped to 1lb above the mark he defied on the Rowley Mile but others arrive with more pressing claims.

J: Toby Moore

T: Ed Dunlop

C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks.

5 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
He made his debut only as a 4yo but it was a winning one at Newcastle (1m); subsequently useful form on AW included another narrow win at that venue (1m2f) in August for George Scott and he went mighty close over latter C&D on stable debut in November; niggled along at various stages when seventh on his turf debut (10.5f) last month and some guesswork is involved as to whether this test will bring out the best in him.

Both wins have come on the AW at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) and was far from disgraced on his return in the Easter Classic there (1m2f) five weeks ago; makes his turf debut in a competitive race, albeit stall 1 has taken three of the last eight runnings.

Ex-French gelding who won four times there, the last two coming over 8.5f (AW) and 1m1f (good) at Chantilly last spring; changed hands for 75,000euros in November; 80-1 when 19th of 24 at Newbury (1m, good) in April on his British debut and he's probably one for further down the line.
