        Verdict

        THANKS FOREVER has the strongest piece of form with a debut third in a decent maiden at York to Battle Cry, who was due to run at Doncaster yesterday. Winged Messenger finished runner-up over the minimum trip at Beverley last time while Ottoman Force is a likely improver. Ziggy's Dream is the most exposed but is weighted to beat Takeover Target on these terms.
