In depth
Verdict
Thai Power is penalised for winning over today’s trip at Kempton last month though scored with plenty in hand and should go close again. But GALATA BRIDGE found only the unbeaten Tuscan Gaze too good at Newbury on his reappearance and is expected to improve for this extra distance on his second outing after wind surgery. Lismore also went close over 1m2f at Lingfield last time and is another to consider while Utopian Lad will find this easier than his latest task at Goodwood.
