Verdict
THURSO raised his game when runner-up on his first start since being gelded at Windsor recently and, provided that he is able to reproduce that level of form back on the all-weather, Richard Hughes' charge could be the answer. He may have most to fear from the lightly-raced Cheeky Stanley, who dug deep when opening his account by a neck from the re-opposing Bust A Moon at Chelmsford last time. Ballsgrove Boy also enters calculations.
