Verdict
Roll Of Thunder was given plenty to do returning from a break here in April but was closing off the home turn. This is his track and, though he has a bit to find with First Revolution on the form book, a big run is anticipated. Silken Moonlight only weakened approaching the last at Sedgefield last month and finished ahead of Elixer but KAPSIZE really should be up to winning a race like this off his current mark. He normally races over much further but this is a stiff course and they usually go a goo pace when there are plenty of runners.
