        In depth

        Verdict

        THORN (NAP) won over course and distance a fortnight ago. John Gallagher’s charge can go in again given the runner-up Leroy Leroy never looked like catching him and Gold Souk and Bad Company finished further behind. Pure Bubbles ran well at Newmarket last time and is less exposed than the likes of Dolphin Vista and Miss Mulligan while Knowing is now back on the same mark as when scoring here in 2019.
