Riot got his head back in front when scoring over track and trip with Eden Storm back in fifth and is only 2lb higher. But ROGUE THUNDER (NAP) is less exposed and with further progress expected on his handicap debut having beaten a subsequent winner in novice company here, Tom Clover’s charge gets the vote to go in again. King Of Ithaca placed at Kempton last time and is preferred to Wolverhampton third Captain Cuddles.
