Verdict
Thouwra will probably find one too good again having been raised 2lb since his latest second at Sandown but can't be ignored. Joe Sugden caused a huge shock on his debut at Newmarket and this will be another test but Barwick has place claims again and Azma arrives in decent form. BUCKSTAY shaped nicely at Newbury last time having been dropped a couple of pounds. The drop in distance is a bit of a worry but soft ground should bring his stamina into play and he can get back to winning ways. Ocean Applause may be the pick of the remainder ahead of the unpredictable Copperwood.
