In depth
Verdict
NORTONTHORPE BOY opened his account with a victory at Wolverhampton on only his third start for Phil McEntee’s yard. Winning partner Luke Morris stays loyal and he’s taken to defy a penalty and confirm latest running with both Banoffee and Major J in the process. Iesha returned a shock 80/1 winner over 7f here last month but is 5lb higher. However, she beat Rainbow Sign, Dubai Tigress and Decadent on that occasion while Zankala may improve now handicapping for the first time with a visor fitted.
