Next up here on the Knavesmire is a competitive 10-furlong handicap, with Karl Burke’s four-year-old Thunder Run currently a narrow 5-1 favourite to bounce back to his winning form over a mile at the big August meeting here last year, when he was racing off a 4lb lower mark. Jane Chapple-Hyam’s Salamanca is close behind in the market at 11-2, he is unexposed after just six runs and was a winner on the all-weather at Newcastle last time out. This is highly competitive though and while my pick DEBORA’S DREAM is one of the outsiders at 20-1, I would not be hugely surprised to see him outrun those odds. He ran well enough from a high draw at Chester last time, needed a run or two to find his best form last year and was a winner off a 1lb lower mark at Sandown last summer.

The Group One Lockinge Stakes at Newbury is the highlight of the domestic action tomorrow but this also has the potential to be a historic weekend for the father-and-daughter team of Jamie and Saffie Osborne, as the Lambourn trainer prepares to saddle Heart Of Honor in the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the US Triple Crown, at Pimlico on Saturday.
