Verdict
An uninspiring contest filled with mainly modest and disappointing types and Exterior Profiles is only a tentative suggestion to small stakes. The son of Good Thyne is well in to the veteran stage of his career but showed that he still retains plenty of enthusiasm for the job over this course and distance last month. The 13-year-old finished a fair fifth in a competitive handicap and should give another good account off his current mark in a weaker event. The booking of Mick Fitzgerald catches the eye for Midnight Coup but he has shown little of late and is far from certain to get this trip. The Full nelson has something to find with the selection on last month's form while Kuwait Millennium is of limited ability and faces no easy task under top weight.
