      Verdict

      GOD OF THUNDER is creeping closer to opening his account having been headed on the line at Nottingham last time when clear of the rest. Tessy Lad also went close at Ffos Las recently but most of the remainder step up in trip including Kodiac Blue, who makes his handicap debut for a yard in fine form, while Looe Beach placed over a mile at Newmarket last month and Bunker Bay found one too good over the same trip at Yarmouth.
