FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Entitled to come on from a promising seasonal debut at Navan recently, THUNDERBEAR can take this valuable prize for the Jack Davison yard. A former Group 3 winner, the five-year-old remains a very consistent sort at black-type level, although it is when he reverts to handicap company that he really tends to make his class count against lesser rivals. Drawn in the middle here, jockey James Ryan has the advantage of being able to track the pace wherever it proves to be. Harry's Hill looks a serious threat for the Hassett family. Runner-up at Navan on his return, the gelding was fourth at Tipperary subsequently and should now be approaching his peak form. Keke is another with solid claims.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards that have run three or more times under any Rules of Racing up to and including 16th June, 2025, at least one of those runs having been on or after 1st May, 2024 (105 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
