        Verdict

        Mark Johnston has acquired THATCHMASTER from Godolphin and will be keen to get a victory out of the beautifully-bred son of Street Cry, who can take this despite an absence since a fine run on Polytrack in April. The stable also run the filly Frost Fire, a half-sister to a winner in the USA and who cost connections a fortune as a foal. The remainder have similar levels of form though Artistical probably has more scope than most and his latest run should be ignored as he couldn't act on testing ground at Chepstow.
