In depth
Verdict
Radmores Revenge took advantage of favourable terms to land the odds in a seller at Hexham in May. He returns to action along with Thundering Home. The latter is reunited with winning partner Tom Bellamy while ALBORZ can race off a lower mark than when scoring at Ffos Las late last year. Tim Vaughan's charge is fit from racing on the Flat and gets the vote. Boston Blue was tailed off on the level recently and this is tougher than the claiming hurdle he won at Doncaster early in the year.
