Verdict
THYME HILL, a dual Grade 1 winner over hurdles, should be much too good for his two rivals if his jumping is up to scratch. Press Your Luck easily beat Flash Collonges at Chepstow before whipping round at the start at Wetherby and unseating his rider, though the Nicholls runner is 8lb better off today.
