It's tempting to take on LAWMANS THUNDER given he has a 12lb hike to contend with having landed a double over track and trip. But he was untroubled to score by over four lengths a fortnight ago and we may not have seen the best of him yet. Self Employed won here in February and ran well again off today's mark at Nottingham last time while Appease had been threatening to win on the Polytrack before a poor effort at Windsor, The latter found Silverheels too good here in March while Pleasure Bent, Silver Dixie and Twenty One Choice return to action and all have the past form to figure if at their best.
