Formscan - THUNDER ROAR has made a pleasing start to the season, with three consecutive placed efforts, and he can get his head in front today. The five-year-old runs off the same mark as his third over 1m at Leicester, where he stayed on well to finish a length behind the winner. Northern Express may improve for his seasonal reappearance over 7f at Newmarket and warrants respect lining up off a 9lb higher mark than when winning this race last year. Hiromichi isn't ruled out raised 4lb after scoring over 1m at Ripon last week, while Redarna won this race in 2022 and isn't easily discounted.
