Verdict

The progressive THUNDER CALL was doing his best work at the finish when third at Newmarket last time and looks the one to be with, especially as this stiffer track promises to suit him even better. Red Spells Danger is likely to be on the premises again, while Anyasi strikes as the type to continue improving now entering handicap company and has to be feared.
