In depth
Verdict
THUNDER AHEAD showed some promise over today’s trip at Lingfield on last month’s debut. He’ll know more today and should go close with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins. Derby entry Third Realm looks a threat stepping up in trip on his reappearance while Mawkeb is another likely improver, though Dane O’Neill prefers the chances of the newcomer Sarrood. Blow That Horn is related to a host of winners while Immelmann is a full brother to the German Group 1 winner Iquitos.
