Verdict
THUNDERSOCKSSUNDAE is becoming a regular here and is seeking a third victory at the track but don’t ignore stablemate Flann, who has the potential to make a much better chaser than hurdler. A similar comment applies to Uranus Des Bordes and William Cody was second on his chasing bow at Market Rasen but beaten 20 lengths and is now 0-12.
