Thorpe was still beaten 16 lengths when second at Perth but was a long way ahead of the disappointing Astaroland. LYRIC STREET is better than he showed last time at Cartmel and could take all the beating if back to his best as the penalised Stynes has more to do than when winning at Newton Abbot. One For Hocky has claims, despite top weight, but Get Home Now may need this after a year on the sidelines and Alhamareer is probably flattered by his form figures.
