Mighty Thunder won well at Perth in the summer and is a rare runner here for Lucinda Russell, who also has points winner The Road Home in the line-up. The mare Pure Affection is improving with experience but Way Out West did not beat much at Sedgefield in May. Southwell second Samson The Man also needs to up his game but there is likely to be market interest in Nicky Henderson's Dubai Destination gelding Cracking Destiny, though the winning pointer already looks a chasing prospect. AINCHEA cost 155,000 euros and is a full brother to Grade 1 winning hurdler One Track Mind, who also won a couple of bumpers - he can make a successful debut.
