Roll Of Thunder returns to action 10lb higher than when scoring at Hexham last year and VINO’S CHOICE looks more favourably handicapped. The latter finished a decent third over course and distance when last over fences and a neck defeat over timber at Musselburgh in February suggests Lucinda Russell’s charge can score off his current mark. Agentleman ran well at Stratford on his recent reappearance and can figure again while Lake Baikal is less exposed than Chain Of Beacons.
