In depth
Verdict
FOR RICHARD was having his first outing after a wind operation when scoring on the Polytrack here recently. This looks no tougher despite a 3lb rise and he’s won on Turf before. Flower Of Thunder finished runner-up at Yarmouth on her Turf debut when ahead of Shyjack but Critique has yet to win anywhere though has raced mainly on the all-weather so far. Gold Souk’s only victory to date came in a maiden and he gets a change of headgear.
