Race preview

There was plenty to like about OMBUDSMAN's debut victory at Newmarket last month and the Night Of Thunder colt may be classy enough to defy a 7lb penalty. John & Thady Gosden have their string in fine fettle and their sole representative on today's card could be destined for bigger things. The chief threat may emerge in the shape of the returning Winston's Tipple, who has been gelded since his third at Wolverhampton last October, although the distance-dropping Clockmaker is also feared.
