Verdict
Bonfire Heart, only beaten a head in a nursery on Tapeta earlier this month, is rated 4lb higher than Leicester and Southwell third Seychelloise but she's no world-beater. Thames Knight can improve on his debut at Kempton but SOUK AL TAHAB won't need to be anything special to make a winning debut. His dam is a daughter of Seattle Slew so he should handle the surface.
