Verdict
This makes even less appeal, from a punting perspective, than the first division. THUNDERING HOME has been disappointing this term but maybe first-time blinkers will have the desired effect so Richard Mitchell's grey gets a tentative vote having been dropped another 4lb since his latest course and distance fifth. Kingussie makes some appeal on his handicap debut but Grandmaster George appears to be going backwards and Lime Street was beaten almost 30 lengths when third at Doncaster. Lamblord may need this but any support for Brown Bear should be noted given connections.
