      Verdict

      THUNDER BLUE has been set a series of stiff tasks in Group races since winning a novice event at Goodwood. Rated 96, he can get his head back in front. Golden Arrow made a winning debut at Hamilton but that was back in May while both The Cutest and It's Showtime showed bits of promise on their respective debuts. New York Bob drops down in distance.
