Verdict

THUNDER STAR is a course specialist with two previous C&D wins and finished strongly when second here 96 days ago in her best effort for over a year. She's strongly fancied returning to her favoured track. Gold Star Hero could appreciate dropping back to 5f after racing freely over 6f last time, while Above should be sharper following a needed recent run.

Gold Star Hero (Ire) silk

Has shown ability in 5f and 6f handicaps this season but tends to race freely. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (13/2) over 6f 24 days ago, ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces but headed final half-furlong. Drop back to 5f could suit based on earlier efforts this term.

Above (Fr) silk

Won at Newcastle (5f) in March and ran well when third at Leicester in April. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (AW, 5f) at 40/1 26 days ago after 5 months off, never better than mid-field. Should be more competitive now.
