Race preview
MIGHTY THUNDER is 16lb higher than when landing this prize 12 months ago, but he ended last season by recording a career best when runner-up in a Pertemps Qualifier at Musselburgh in February and the seven-year-old may have more to offer this campaign. I'd Better Go Now won well at Doncaster in March and is respected despite a 10lb rise from the handicapper. Others to note include Western Rules and Justatenner.
