Thunder Crash landed some nice bets when coming with a late dash to catch Steelyeyed over the track and trip last month. A 4lb rise looks very reasonable but he's not certain to see off third-placed WILD IRISH ROSE, who also came with a late rattle. Aidan O'Brien's filly, a half-sister to six winners, could do with a victory for the paddocks and this could be her day. Lovemenot just held on over slightly shorter on fast going in a Limerick maiden and has more to offer though this looks tougher as Inescapable is another who looks capable of a good performance from a fair mark.
