In depth

Verdict

None of the newcomers in this make much appeal on breeding and the form book points to THANKYOU STARS, though it's a bit of a worry that she's hasn't been seen since narrowly failing to make a winning debut over course and distance in April. Soundstrings has the more recent form having run Gale Force to half-a-length at Yarmouth last month and she's preferred to Thirsk third By The Law and Time To Exceed, who may benefit from a drop in trip having weakened close home over 7f at Lingfield last time.
