Verdict
Thunder Flash won over 1m2f earlier and has placed over track and trip since. TRUE ROMANCE finished runner-up over course and distance more recently and may have the edge in this with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back. Holy Bee has been thereabouts lately and Thorntoun Care slips further down the weights while Grand Pianola is still looking for his first win after 18 attempts.
