Thundering Home sprang a surprise in a novices' handicap for conditional jockeys at Kempton last week and Tom Bellamy takes the ride again. However, that was run in a very slow time and the merit of the form is questionable. JUST BEWARE is no world-beater but Zoe Davison's mare rarely runs a bad race around here and is a consistent sort at this level. She gets the vote with another C&D winner, Little Roxy, having place claims along with the returning The Omen and Lady Bridget, who is now tried in blinkers.
