Formscan  - A drop back in distance proved just the trick for recent Hamilton winner Thunderstorm Katie and she must enter the reckoning. However, a 5lb penalty does demand another career best from Jim Goldie's filly and MATCH PLAY may have her measure. This represents a drop in class for the five-year-old and a repeat of his latest second at Yarmouth may prove sufficient. Royal Duke and Zuffolo are others to consider.
